Answer to Question #153304 in Quantum Mechanics for Max

Question

Explain the energy for one dimensional harmonic oscillator.

Answer 1

The energy in one dimensional harmonic oscillator can be given as

$E=\frac{P^2}{2m}+\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

Where

P is momentum

m is mass

K is spring constant

x is displacement of spring from mean position.
