1 thought on “<br />classically the oscillator can take <br />all possible values of energy, while wave mechanical<br />homonic oscillator can t”
Explanation:
The energy spacing is equal to Planck’s energy quantum. The ground state energy is larger than zero. This means that, unlike a classical oscillator, a quantum oscillator is never at rest, even at the bottom of a potential well, and undergoes quantum fluctuations.
