Quantum-mechanical harmonic oscillator serves as the basic
model for molecular vibrations. Its solutions are characterized by
(a) uniform energy separation,
(b) zero-point energy,
(c) larger probability at turning points.
Greater probability
near the turning
points. Again

Rotation: particle on a ring
Particle constrained to move on a ring of radius r.
Entire energy is kinetic
The potential energy is constant and can be taken
to be zero (as it is unchanged during rotation).
