Analytical evaluation of r^l integral

In summary, the conversation revolves around finding the matrix elements of ##R_{nl}## for the specific case where l = 1. The individual is seeking suggestions on where to start with this demonstration and is reminded to properly define their notation and send their homework problems to the appropriate forum. It is also mentioned that ##R_{nl}## is most likely the radial part of the electronic wave function for the hydrogen atom.

Hello,

I need to find the matrix elements of
CodeCogsEqn-3.gif

in the particular case where l = 1. This should have an analytical solution but I have no idea where to start with this demonstration.

Any suggestions on where to start digging?Ty!

Start defining your notation! What's ##R_{nl}##? What's the domain of integration? Last but not least, homework problems should be sent to the homework forum!

My guess is that ##R_{nl}## is the radial part of the electronic wave function for the hydrogen atom.

This indeed looks like homework, and I will therefore close the thread and ask you to start another one in the homework forum, with a proper description of the problem and an attempt at a solution. If my judgement is wrong, please PM me.
