Section 8.3 (cont.)

So, one of the things that we have not full acknowledged is that the harmonic oscillator potential of 1/kx2 is not really the actual potential...it is close, but not completely accurate. Figure 8.6 compares the 1/2kx2 potential to a potential referred to as the "Morse potential."
