Verify that for a harmonic oscillator, average potential energy <V> < E

- for the quantum number (a) v=0 and (b) v=1.

Here use ħ=1, m=1, k=1.

Before averaging, do not forget to normalize the wave function, i.e. to specify the normalization constant.

  

Also obtain <T> and the <T>/<V> ratio for each case.
