For problem 10 (HW3) you will need to use del^2 in spherical coordinates to calculate the K.E.. Since Psi100 does not depend on theta or phi, I think you can use the r part which I believe is: (1/r2)ddr(r2dψ100dr)
Assuming that is correct, then one would start with the integral of: ψ100(r)(1/r2)ddr(r2dψ100(r)dr)
over all space. Use the Jacobian... I think it will cancel the r^2 outside the derivatives. Does that make sense?
Is there supposed to be a -hbar^2/(2m) in the integral as well?
ReplyDeleteYes. Thanks.
