    Dealing with addition of cosntant to wave equation? Spherical Harmonics

    Yeah I've worked through the problem in shankar, the last equation in my original post is in fact the Shankar problem. I had no trouble with that one, as I was easily able to put x , y and z in Spherical coordinates. Then calculating the probabilities was no problem, and finding the possible...

    Dealing with addition of cosntant to wave equation? Spherical Harmonics

    Tons of clumsy mistakes on my part. For z^2 :- Why not just z^2=r^2 * 4\pi/3 * Y^0_1 * Y^0_1? Though I've never seen any wave-function with 2 angular parts multiplied together, so I don't know how to interpret that.

    Dealing with addition of cosntant to wave equation? Spherical Harmonics

    Ah I guess I just reversed the notations for l and m, anyway I was trying to say l=1, and m=0. Ok thanks for the suggestion, I see what I can do to proceed from there, but as a follow up question, If the wave equation is composed of a radial and a angular part, \psi_n_l_m(r,\theta...

    Dealing with addition of cosntant to wave equation? Spherical Harmonics

    Homework Statement I am trying to calculate the angular momenta for \psi(x,y,z) = A(ar^2 + bz^2) A is given as a constant. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I know that z=r\sqrt{4\pi/3} * Y_0^1 What I have so far is:- \psi(x,y,z) = r^2Aa +...
