Question:

The state of a harmonic oscillator is given as Ξ¨ =\(\frac{1}{ √3}\) πœ“0 -\(\frac{1}{ √6}\) πœ“1+\(\frac{1}{ √2}\) πœ“2 , where πœ“0, πœ“1 and πœ“2 are the normalized wave functions of ground, first excited, and second excited states, respectively. Which of the following statement(s) is/are true?

  • A measurement of the energy of the system yields 𝐸=\(\frac{1}{2}\) β„πœ” with non-zero probability
  • A measurement of the energy of the system yields 𝐸 =\(\frac{5}{3}\) β„πœ” with non-zero probability
  • Expectation value of the energy of the system 〈𝐸βŒͺ = \(\frac{5}{3}\) β„πœ”
  • Expectation value of the energy of the system 〈𝐸βŒͺ = \(\frac{7}{8}\) β„πœ”
