  • Physics

Solves the Schrodinger equation

Topics

  • Spherical Wave Function

[Ψ(r,t)]=Ln​1​

  • Units for wave function in n dimensions
  • L is in units of length

∫−∞∞​∣Ψ∣2dr=1

  • Obeys Normalization

f(x)=n=1∑∞​cn​ψn​(x)

  • cn​ is a Wave Function Weighting Coefficient

⟨ψn​,ψm​⟩=∫R​ψn∗​ψm​dx=δnm​

  • Stationary states orthogonality condition

  • [Ψ(r⃗,t)]=1Ln\displaystyle [\Psi(\vec{r},t)]=\frac{1}{\sqrt{ L^{n} }}[Ψ(r,t)]=Ln​1​
  • ∫−∞∞∣Ψ∣2 dr⃗=1\displaystyle \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \lvert \Psi\rvert^{2} \, \mathrm{d}\vec{r}=1∫−∞∞​∣Ψ∣2dr=1
  • f(x)=∑n=1∞cnψn(x)\displaystyle f(x)=\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty}c_{n}\psi_{n}(x)f(x)=n=1∑∞​cn​ψn​(x)
  • ⟨ψn,ψm⟩=∫Rψn∗ψm dx=δnm\displaystyle {\left\langle{\psi_{n},\psi_{m}}\right\rangle}=\int _{\mathbb{R}}\psi^{*}_{n}\psi_{m} \, \mathrm{d}x=\delta_{nm}⟨ψn​,ψm​⟩=∫R​ψn∗​ψm​dx=δnm​
