What is the physical interpretation of the imaginary component in the spherical harmonics? I am under the impression that when we sketch the shapes of the spherical harmonics we exclude the imaginary components.
repugno said:When we take the modulus squared of the spherical harmonics we loose the term containing the azimuth angle and the imaginary number. Isn't this a problem since we loose information about the shapes?
The T.I.S.E stands for the "Time Independent Schrödinger Equation" and is a mathematical equation used in quantum mechanics to describe the behavior of a quantum system over time.
The solution to the T.I.S.E represents the wave function of a quantum system, which describes the probability of finding the system in a particular state at a given time.
The T.I.S.E can be solved using various methods, including analytical methods such as separation of variables or numerical methods such as the finite difference method. The specific method used depends on the specific system and boundary conditions.
The T.I.S.E is a fundamental equation in quantum mechanics and is used to describe the behavior of many physical systems, including atoms, molecules, and subatomic particles. It allows scientists to make predictions about the behavior of these systems and has been crucial in the development of modern technology such as transistors and lasers.
Yes, the T.I.S.E has some limitations, particularly in systems with strong interactions or systems with changing potentials. In these cases, more advanced equations such as the time-dependent Schrödinger equation may be used.
