def psi_n(n, x, m, omega):
    """
    Returns the wavefunction psi_{n} for the One-dimensional harmonic oscillator.

    ``n``
        the "nodal" quantum number.  Corresponds to the number of nodes in the
        wavefunction.  n >= 0
    ``x``
        x coordinate
    ``m``
        mass of the particle
    ``omega``
        angular frequency of the oscillator
