(a) Obtain the expressions for the wavefunctions for the ground
state and second excited
state of the harmonic oscillator.
(b) Use your favorite plotting software to make a plot of each of
these wave functions. Please
make sure to tell the reader what your parameter choices are. As
always, you are free
to choose parameters in a way that makes the plotting easier for
you. After all, the first
thing we want is insight into the shape of the wavefunctions, not
their exact values.
