Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around identifying a formula presented in an image, with participants exploring its potential classification within the context of physics, specifically in relation to the Morse potential.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant asks for the name of a formula shown in an image.
  • Another participant suggests that the formula resembles a variant of the Morse potential.
  • A different participant notes that the Morse potential is not symmetric, while the formula in the image appears to be symmetric.
  • It is confirmed that if the potential satisfies V(x)=V(-x), then it is indeed symmetric.
  • A subsequent question is raised about whether the formula is a Morse potential or if it has another name.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on whether the formula is a Morse potential or if it is known by another name, indicating that the discussion remains unresolved.

Contextual Notes

There is uncertainty regarding the exact classification of the formula, as well as the implications of its symmetry.

Any help will be appreciated .. thanks

To me it looks like a variant of the Morse potential.
 


what i know about the Morse potential is that its not a symmetric potential, but the one in the picture is a symmetric , am i right?
 


If you mean that V(x)=V(-x), then you're right, of course.
 


so is it a morse potential or it has other name?
