Hi
I'm confused about something from quantum mechanics but it concerns infinity and limits.
For an infinite well the energy levels vary as n2 and for an harmonic oscillator the energy levels vary as n with n taking integer values in both cases with no upper bound.
In both cases there are infinite levels but I have been told the energy does not become infinite in either case.Why does the energy not become infinite ?
Thanks
