Homework Statement
Look for a seperable solution T(r,θ) = R(r)Θ(θ) and derive equations for R(r) and Θ(θ) choosing a separation constant that gives sinusoidal solutions for Θ(θ). Write down a general solution for Θ(θ) and show the equation for R(r) has solutions of the form R(r)=r^p.
Homework Equations
p is just a random letter which has no real meaning.
The Attempt at a Solution
I can get the solution of Θ(θ)=Asinkθ+Bcoskθ using k^2 as the separation constant. That leaves me with r2R''+ rR' = k2R but I am not sure what solution that gives, likewise for the general solution for Θ(θ). Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks
