MATSLISE: Eigenfunctions-Potential plot window

The Eigenfunctions-potential plot window

The Eigenfunctions-Potential plot window for the Harmonic Oscillator (eigenvalues 0-10).

The eigenfunctions are plotted together with the potential function. The horizontal dotted lines represent the energy levels. The associated eigenfunctions are plotted on the same level and in the same color. The full line in black is the potential function.

Note: These eigenfunctions are not normalized: They are multiplied by a factor (all eigenfunctions with the same factor), in order to obtain nice and clear plots.



The Eigenfunctions-Potential plot window for the Harmonic Oscillator (eigenvalues 0-10): The Squares option

The square of the wavefunction (y) is a measure of the probability of finding a particle described by the wavefunction at a given point in space. That is, in regions where the square of the magnitude of the wavefunction is large, the probability of finding the particle in that region is also large, and vice versa. With the "Square"- option, those squares are visualized.
