The wavefunction for one of these systems is proportional to the inverse square root of n factorial times two to the n times a Gaussian times a Hermite polynomial.
The wavefunction for one of these systems is proportional to the inverse square root of n factorial times two to the n times a Gaussian times a Hermite polynomial. The Einstein model of heat capacity treats each individual atom as one of these systems. A particle in a stable equilibrium can be modeled as one of these systems by Taylor expanding the potential and throwing away all terms after the third one. An RLC circuit is an example of one of these systems that exhibits damping. In classical mechanics, one type of this system is characterized by a restoring force whose magnitude is proportional to the distance from equilibrium, a result known as Hooke's Law. For 10 points, name this type of system, a simple example of which is a mass on a spring.
