Maple Help: Introducing Numerical Functions for Dielectric Constant Calculation

[madrness]

Hi, someone knows if and how is possible to indroduce nuemrical function in a Maple worksheet?
For example, I want to calculate the dielectric constants for a material knowing its optical constants "n" and "k" for a set o walength. How I can introduce somenthing like an orign worksheet or a table with differente columns (the first for the walenght, the second for n and the third one for k) without typing one by one these values?
Thank you very much

This thread did not belong in tutorials as it is homework related. I'm guessing about where it does belong, but I figure the mathematicians can help you with Maple, so I'm putting it in Calculus and Beyond. If they don't agree, it may take another trip to find the right forum.

Hi madrness,

Thank you for your question. It is indeed possible to introduce numerical functions in a Maple worksheet. You can use the "plot" function to create a table with different columns for wavelength, n, and k. For example, you can use the following code:

plot([wavelength, n, k], wavelength = 300..900, n = 1.5, k = 0.2);

This will create a table with columns for wavelength, n, and k, with the values ranging from 300 to 900 for wavelength and 1.5 for n and 0.2 for k. You can also customize the values and ranges according to your needs.

Another option is to use the "seq" function to generate a sequence of numbers for your table. For example:

seq([wavelength, n, k], wavelength = 300..900 by 100, n = 1.5, k = 0.2);

This will create a table with columns for wavelength, n, and k, with the values ranging from 300 to 900 with an increment of 100 for wavelength and 1.5 for n and 0.2 for k.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any further questions. Happy computing!
