I am struggeling with the following problem:
give the x,y,z coordinates from the following ball points/vectors
1. (r, theta, phi) = (sqrt3, 3/4pi, 3/4pi)
2. (r, theta, phi) = (1, 1/6pi, 1 1/6pi)
the sollutions I found in my reader are as followed:
1. (x, y, z) = (-1/2 sqrt3, 1/2 sqrt3, -sqrt3/sqrt2)
2. (x, y, z) = 1/4 sqrt3, -1/4, 1/2 sqrt3)
can someone explain to me what was actually done here? I understand the conversion from carthesian coordinates to ball and cylinder coordinates but I can't seem to find the sollution for the other way around. Thanks a lot.
