Week 3 Quantum Harmonic Oscillator

Question 1

what is the general form of the Hamiltonian operator

Answer 1

H^ = T^ + V^
H^ = Kinetic energy operator + Potential energy operator

Question 2

what property can be deduced from the QHO

Answer 2

transition between energy levels by emitting or absorbing photons

Question 3

briefly described the diatomic molecule graph

Answer 3

we have a steep repulsion rapidly decreasing towards a minimum turning point
after this turning point the graph rapidly increase then plateaus at V=0 to show attraction
