Homework Statement


The period of a macroscopic pendulum made with a mass of 10 g suspended from
a massless cord 50 cm long is 1.42 s. (a) Compute the ground state (zero-point) energy. (b) If the
pendulum is set into motion so that the mass raises 0.1 mm above its equilibrium position, what will
be the quantum number of this state? (c) What is the frequency of motion in (b)?

Need help! I keep doing the problem but getting the wrong answers. I got A but am not getting B. the answer to B is 2.1*10^28

What are the energies of the excited states? By how much does the harmonic oscillator's energy increase when the pendulum is raised 0.1 mm? Which excited-state energy does this correspond to?
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
