Homework Statement
I have a series of functions, states, and levels that I'm suppose to graph using excel. Only problem is I'm not even sure of what to do. I'm completely confused/lost.
Homework Equations
n=1 l=0 [tex]R(r)=\frac{2}{a_0^{3/2}}e^{-r/a_0}[/tex]
n=2 l=0 [tex]R(r)=(2-\frac{r}{a_0})\frac{e^{-r/2a_0}}{(2a_0)^{3/2}} [/tex]
n=2 l=1 [tex]R(r)=\frac{r}{a_0}\frac{e^{-r/2a_0}}{\sqrt{3}(2a_0)^{3/2}} [/tex]
n=3 l=0 [tex]R(r)=\frac{1}{(a_0)^{3/2}}\frac{2}{81\sqrt{3}}(27-18\frac{r}{a_0}+2\frac{r^2}{a_0^2})e^{-r/3a_0}[/tex]
n=3 l=1 [tex]R(r)=\frac{1}{(a_0)^{3/2}}\frac{4}{81\sqrt{6}}(6-\frac{r}{a_0})\frac{r}{a_0}e^{-r/3a_0} [/tex]
n=3 l=2 [tex]R(r)=\frac{1}{(a_0)^{3/2}}\frac{4}{81\sqrt{30}}\frac{r^2}{a_0^2}e^{-r/3a_0}[/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
As for attempting this I'm not even sure of how to begin. I'd have to state some variable with excel but in this form and introducing the state of the atom into the function. What am i suppose to use for 'a' or 'r'? Will excell allow me to graph a wave function using so many undefined variables? In other words I haven't a clue as to what to do here. Any insight would be greatful.
