    Deriving the Spherical Unit Vectors

    Does anyone know how to derive the spherical unit vectors in the cartesian basis? Or a good link that might show how its done? I would also like to see it done for the cylindrical coordinates. I have tried to do it, especially for the spherical case, but i can only get r-hat. It would be...

    How Many Bound States in a Double Delta Function Potential?

    And can someone tell me how to do the graphic equation writing. (lol no clue how to describe it) The A^2=B^2 stuff in Gokul's post

    How Many Bound States in a Double Delta Function Potential?

    Sorry my E= -[(16mc^3)/(2h^2)+4c+(h^2)/(2m)) where c is actually labled alpha in the problem (i don't know how to do that fancy stuff lol so i just choose a random constant and forgot what i labled it) Yes i have four coefficients, which ended up pairing off. I got the result that the two...

    How Many Bound States in a Double Delta Function Potential?

    Off the top of their head, does anyone know how many bound states the potential v(x)=-c[d(x+a)+d(x-a)] might have? I went through the problem as follows: got a growing exponential to the left of -a, got a growing plus a decaying exponential inbetween -a and a, and a decaying exponential to...

    Derivative of an imaginary exponential

    still looking like an i is going to follow through, ill just go annoy the gsi (TA) about it, thanks for your help tho

    Derivative of an imaginary exponential

    apparently <p^2>=a*(hbar)^2 LOL maybe ill try and work towards that, and see what to do, it says itll take a lot of alegbra to get it to that form though!

    Derivative of an imaginary exponential

    well in any case I am still stuck with an imaginary momentum

    Derivative of an imaginary exponential

    actually, i have no clue why it got all that

    Derivative of an imaginary exponential

    it hasent failed me in the past, i can try doing it out by hand though to be sure

    x, and my calculator did it :D

    Derivative of an imaginary exponential

    ya actually that would be good, I am still getting an imaginary left over in my <p>. I'm trying to take a expectation value for momentum, the operator is h/i(d/dx) (hbar that is) and the actual thing I am taking the derivative of is this e^(-(ax^2)/(1+2ihat/m)) (all constants except for...

    Derivative of an imaginary exponential

    Bleh ya, alright, i was hoping there was a shortcut. The actual problem is much nastier, and the u substitution is giong to be hard to apply throughout. Thanks man!

    Derivative of an imaginary exponential

    Does anyone know how to take the derivative of e^((x^2)/i)? Thanks in advance!
