I'm doing a problem in thermodynamics that deals with sound waves and the bulk modulus B and it got me thinking. Since the compressional waves would be traveling far too fast to be considered isothermal, I assume you must consider them to be adiabatic compressions of air. Now if adiabatic...
Your doing it correctly. Just make sure you get all possible combinations. In other words, your table should have \Omega(4, 2) = \left(\stackrel{5}{2}\right) rows, all with different configurations.
for a start, find out what the laplacian is in spherical coords and expand the shrodinger equation. from there you need to separate your variables. remember also that your potential energy is a certain expression if you dealing with a harmonic oscillator.
Yeah, that's what I thought to, but how did you show that they form their own Sturm-Liouville problem? Did you replace y(x) with u(x) in #1? When you sub the u(x)'s into eq'n #1, the last term contains \int u(x)dx, because u = y'. I'm curious to see how you got that weighting function.
I did...
Homework Statement
A set of eigenfunctions yn(x) satisfies the Sturm-Liouville equation #1 with boundary conditions #2. The function g(x) = 0. Show that the derivatives un(x) = yn'(x) are also orthogonal functions. Determine the weighting function w(x) for these functions. What boundary...
