- TL;DR Summary
- I'm doing unit analysis to understand phase shift using a differential equation. That phase shift depends on some constants and a sine function that includes the phase shift. My problem is when I simplify units of constants, I have one unit and not “radians” or adimensional unit. Is necessary expressing that phase in radians, or can I express as I get?
I'm trying to solve an ED numerically, but before to doing it I try to understand the system physically according to nuclear scale. In most books and articles use MeV for energy and mass energy and fm to represent distances and phase shift of wave functions are in radians or degree. But when I analyze the problem I found that phase have 1/fm unit and not radians or adimensional unit. I can "arrange" the expresion using V in MeV fm units but don't make to much sense to me. Someone could explain to me what phase shift means physically?
