Q99 · CSIR NET Chemistry, December 2012
Paper: CSIR NET December 2012 · Subject: Physical Chemistry · Chapter: Quantum Chemistry · Topic: Harmonic Oscillator · Marks: 2 · Difficulty: Medium
The energy of a harmonic oscillator in its ground state is $1/2\,h\omega'$. According to the virial theorem, the average kinetic (T) and potential (V) energies of the above are
(a)$T = 1/4\,h\omega'$ $V = 1/4\,h\omega'$
(b)$T = 1/8\,h\omega'$ $V = 3/8\,h\omega'$
(c)$T = h\omega'$ $V = 1/2\,h\omega'$
(d)$T = 3/8\,h\omega'$ $V = 1/8\,h\omega'$
