Bonus Problem 6
Due Friday, Oct. 30, 2015
For all problems
(1) Put your name clearly in the printout or file
(2) Describe what software you used
(3) Show the program, including a screenshot or printout. Make sure it is readable with large
fonts and good contrast. I can’t grade it if I can’t easily read the screenshot.
1. (10 pts) Plot the first 4 wavefunctions for the harmonic oscillator, shifted by energy (you can
scale the wavefunctions so that they fit nicely in the plot). Use dashed lines to indicate the
energy levels. Include in the plot an overlay of the potential energy curve so that it intersects
the energy levels at the correct value of x.
