hey

There is a problem about boundries in this solve of quantum problem. And I don't understand the boundries come from where on the integral.. I can not see it :( You will see in the picture... but If u want to see the other part of solve in problem I will add..

hey opeth_35! :smile:

(btw, we say "limit" or "bound" for a number … "boundary" is for a curve or a surface :wink:)

the integral is over the whole of space, and it's in spherical coordinates,

so the limits are: r from 0 to ∞, θ from 0 to π, and φ from 0 to 2π

(i don't understand your second question, but maybe the answer is that they used one of the standard trigonometric identities … sin2θ = (1 - cos2θ)/2)
