Examples

Use your result from Problem 18 to show that for all bound states of the simple harmonic oscillator, ;SPMlt;T;SPMgt;=;SPMlt;V;SPMgt;, the average kinetic energy is always exactly the average potential energy.

Use your result from Problem 18 to show that if tex2html_wrap_inline148 (as in the Hydrogen atom), all bound states obey tex2html_wrap_inline150 , as we found semiquantitatively earlier in the course.
