question no 4.22, statistical physics by Reif Volume 5 4.92 Mean energy of a harmonic oscillator A harmonic oscillator has a mass and spring constant which are such that its classical angular frequency of oscllation is equal to w. In a quantum- mechanical description, such an oscillator is characterized by a set of discrete states having energies En given by The quantum number n which labels these states can here assume all the integral values A particular instance of a...
Simple Hanging Harmonic Oscillator Developed by K Roos In this set of exercises the student builds a computational model of a hanging mass-spring system that is constrained to move in 1D, using the simple Euler and the Euler-Cromer numerical schemes. The student is guided to discover, by using the model to produce graphs of the position, velocity and energy of the mass as a function of time, that the Euler algorithm does not conserve energy, and that for this simple...
