Separate the time-independent Schr枚dinger equation (3.22) in spherical coordinates assuming that V=V(r)is independent of and . (If V depends only on r , then we are dealing with central forces, for example, electrostatic or gravitational forces.) Hints: You may find it helpful to replace the mass m in the Schr枚dinger equation by M when you are working in spherical coordinates to avoid confusion with the letter m in the spherical harmonics (7.10). Follow the separation of (7.1) but with the extra term [V(r)E]. Show that the ,solutions are spherical harmonics as in (7.10) and Problem 16. Show that the r equation with k=l(l+1)is [compare (7.6)].

Short Answer

Expert verified

The time-independent Schrodinger-Equation are spherical harmonics.

The Radial part is given by

1Rr(r2Rr)2Mr22(V(r)E)==l(l+1)

Step by step solution

01

Given Information:

The time independent Schrodinger equation is as below.

2M2(V(r)E)=0.

02

Definition of Schrödinger equation:

The Schr枚dinger equation is a partial differential equation that governs a quantum-mechanical system's wave function.

03

Use time independent Schrodinger equation:

Write Laplace operator in spherical coordinates.

=1r2r(r2r)+1r2sin(sin)+1r2sin2()22

Use time independent Schr枚dinger equation.

2M2(V(r)E)=0

S()T()r2r(r2Rr)+R(r)T()r2sin(sinS)+R(r)S()r2sin2()2T22M2(V(r)E)R(r)S()T()=01r2Rr(r2Rr)+1Sr2sin()(sin()S)+1r2sin2()T2T22M2(V(r)E)=0

04

Check ϕ,θ and r dependence:

Check dependence.

1T2T2=m22T2+m2T=0T()=ei

ei={Re(T)=cos(m)Im(T)=sin(m)

Check dependence.

1S1sin(sinS)+m2sin2()=1sin(sinS)+(m2sin2())S=0

Check r- independence

1Rr(r2Rr)2Mr22(V(r)E)==l(l+1)

Hence Yl,m(,)=S()T()is spherical harmonics.
