According to equipartition theorem, how a harmonic oscillator has two degree of freedom?
I was reading a book on kinetic theory. In the part of equipartition theorem, I found a line as follows,
" The average energy corresponding to one vibration is equal to twice the K.E. corresponding to ...

Energy of the harmonic oscillator
We know the Hamiltonian of harmonic oscillator is $H={p^2\over{2m}} +{1\over 2} kx^2$. We then fix the value of the energy to the eigenvalues $E=(n+1/2) {h\omega\over{2π}}$ . But sometimes in the ...
