Intersection of plane in spherical coordinate system

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on finding the line of intersection between two planes generated by two points in a spherical coordinate system. Each point is defined by its radius, angle, and azimuth. The goal is to determine the intersection line and the azimuth angle relative to 0°. Participants are seeking assistance with the mathematical approach to achieve this output. Clear guidance on the calculations and geometric interpretations is requested.

Dear Friends,

I have below query

Available data:
Point1 (r1,theta1,phi1)
Point2 (r2,theta2,phi2)
where in spherical coordinate system
r(i)=radius
theta(i)=angle
phi(i)=azimuth

Required output:
Line of intersection by individual planes generated by each point i.e. from point1 we got plane1 and from point2 we got plane2.

And azimuth or say angle with 0° of this line.

Please help me in this.

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
