Multiple choice
For a classical harmonic oscillator of amplitude A, where is the particle most likely to be found, i.e. where is the classical probability density P_cl(x) largest?
🔬 try it before you answer
Uniformly across the whole range; every position is equally likely
Just beyond the turning points, in the classically forbidden region
Near the turning points x = +/-A, where the particle moves slowest
At the center x = 0, where the particle moves fastest
