For user-selected and , the eigenfunctions , with normalization constants , are plotted as blue curves. The axis for each function coincides with the corresponding eigenvalue , the first ten values of which are shown on the scale at the right. The vertical scales are adjusted for optimal appearance.

A checkbox lets you compare the vee-potential eigenstates with the corresponding ones of the harmonic oscillator, drawn in red. The ground states of the two systems are chosen to coincide: . The harmonic oscillator is more confining, so its eigenvalues are more widely spaced. For higher values of , the oscillator functions might move off scale.
