Homework Statement


I'm talking about the probability density plot of the harmonic oscillator. Is there some physical meaning to be extracted from this? Here's a link that contains the drawing of what I'm talking about http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/quantum/hosc5.html

The physical significance is that as the energy increases, the oscillator becomes more and more classical. Classically, the oscillator spends more time at its turning points since its speed is 0 there, so you'd expect the wavefunction to be larger around these points.
