(i)
Interpretation:
The number of nodes in a wavefunction of a harmonic oscillator with
Concept introduction:
A system that experiences a restoring force when displaced from its equilibrium position is known as the harmonic oscillator. The restoring force experienced by the system is directly proportional to the displacement. Masses connected to the spring and the pendulums are the examples of harmonic oscillator.
