Subject: Physical Chemistry · Chapter: Quantum Chemistry · Topic: Harmonic Oscillator · Exam: NET JUNE 2014 · Marks: 2 · Difficulty: Medium
A normalised state $\phi$ is constructed as a linear combination of the ground state $\left(\psi_{0}\right)$ and the first excited state $\left(\psi_{1}\right)$ of some harmonic oscillator with energies $1 / 2$ and $3 / 2$ units, respectively. If the average energy of the state $\phi$ is 7/6, the probability of finding $\psi_{0}$ in $\phi$ will be
(a)1/2
(b)$1 / 3$
(c)1/3
(d)1/5
