Question

Let this oscillator have the same energy as a mass on a spring, with the same k and m, released from rest at a displacement of 5.00cm from equilibrium. what is the quantum number n of the state of the harmonic oscillator? express the quantum number to three significant figures.

Answer 1

There are a lot of same examples that you may have worked before, where the mass on a spring uses a classics when it comes to mechanics. So in this system, always put in your mind that there is an enormous quantum standard that one can use in the equation. It should be 2.10x10 raise to a negative sixth. J.
