Basic Model for Simple Harmonic Oscillator: Application in Various Systems

This article discusses the fundamental nature of the simple harmonic oscillator (SHO) and its application in different systems such as the vibrations of CO2 molecules and lateral oscillations of the Millennium Bridge. It also highlights the energy calculations in the harmonic oscillator and the concept of zero-point energy.

  1. When displaced from equilibrium this system is a basic model for the simple harmonic oscillator (SHO) - neglecting anharmonicity of course.

  2. When displaced from equilibrium this system is a basic model for the simple harmonic oscillator (SHO) - neglecting anharmonicity of course. The reason it is so fundamental is that it applies to all dynamics involving displacements from equilibrium from the vibrations of the CO2molecule responsible for the Greenhouse effect……

  8. It is worth noting that in Heisenberg’s first paper on Quantum Mechanics we find his first test is on the energy of the harmonic oscillator:

  9. It is worth noting that in Heisenberg’s first paper on Quantum Mechanics we find his first test is on the energy of the harmonic oscillator: W = nhωo/2π(22)

  10. It is worth noting that in Heisenberg’s first paper on Quantum Mechanics we find his first test is on the energy of the harmonic oscillator: W = nhωo/2π(22) W = (n + ½)hωo/2π(23)

It is worth noting that in Heisenberg’s first paper on Quantum Mechanics we find his first test is on the energy of the harmonic oscillator: W = nhωo/2π(22) W = (n + ½)hωo/2π(23) “According to this idea, therefore, even with the harmonic oscillator the energy cannot be represented by classical mechanics, by (22) but has the form (23)” ie zero point energy
