Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If a homogeneous electric field acts on a 1D quantum harmonic oscillator, then the oscillator ground-state wave function____
A
becomes narrower
B
becomes broader
C
is shifted to a new equilibrium position
D
does not change at all
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The ground state energy of a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator is 6.2ev.

Detailed explanation-2: -The 1-D Harmonic Oscillator. Consider a particle of mass m moving in a potential energy function U(x) = ½kx2. The force on the particle is given by F(x) =-dU(x)/dx =-kx. The motion of the classical particle is governed by Newton’s second law md2x/dt2 =-kx.
