Chapter 11, Problem 11C.8P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The Morse oscillator has a finite number of bound states has to be confirmed. The value of ${\upsilon }_{\max }$ for the highest bound state has to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The Morse oscillator is defined as a model for a particle in the anharmonic oscillation and has a dissociative limit.  It is used for describing the anharmonic vibration of diatomic molecules.  The Morse potential is expressed as shown below.

  $V\left(x\right)=D_{\text{e}}{\left[1-e^{-ax}\right]}^2$
