1)Consider a particle that is in the second excited state of the Harmonic oscillator. (Note: for this question and the following, you should rely heavily on the raising and lowering operators. Do not do integrals.) (a) What is the expectation value of position for this particle? (b) What is the expectation value of momentum for this particle?

The motion of an harmonic oscillator is governed by the differential equation 2¨x + 3 ˙x + 4x = g(t). i. Suppose the oscillator is unforced and the motion is started from rest with an initial displacement of 5 positive units from the equilibrium position. Will the oscillator pass through the equilibrium position multiple times? Justify your answer. ii. Now suppose the oscillator experiences a forcing function 2e t for the first two seconds, after which it is removed. Later,...
