In quantum mechanics, this phenomenon corresponds to evenly spaced discrete energy levels and a ground state energy of h-bar omega over two.
In quantum mechanics, this phenomenon corresponds to evenly spaced discrete energy levels and a ground state energy of h-bar omega over two. An extension of this movement to two dimensions traces out a Bowdith curve, which is also known as a Lissajous [lis-ah-zhoo] figure. This occurs when objects have an acceleration that varies inversely with the opposite of position. One commonly given example of it is only an estimation based on a small-angle approximation, which assumes that the sine of theta is approximately theta. Generally, this happens when freely moving objects are subject to Hooke's Law, as for spring oscillations. Name this periodic sinusoidal motion that occurs when objects move back and forth.
