Quantum Harmonic Oscillator Momentum Distribution
The energy levels of a quantum harmonic oscillator are given by the equation En = (n+½)ħω. Following a transition from the n=3 state to the n=1 state, how is the system’s momentum distribution altered?

It becomes wider with larger maximum values
B
It shifts to higher momentum values only
C
It becomes narrower with smaller maximum values
D
It remains unchanged despite the energy change
