Virial theorem. Use Equation 1 to show that

 [3.96]

where T is the kinetic energy (H = T + V). In a stationary state the left side is zero (why?) so

 [3.97]

This is called the virial theorem. Use it to prove that T = V for stationary states of the harmonic oscillator, and check that this is consistent with the results you got in Problems 2.11 and 2.12.
