Developed Theory for The Hydrogen Atom
Theory of the Hydrogen Atom
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
For any hydrogenic ion with nuclear charge Z
V(𝐫) = -Ze²/r
V(𝐫) = -e²/r
Eigenfunctions in spherical coordinates:
Ψₑₗₘ(r,θ,φ) = Rₑₗ(r) Yₗₘ(θ,φ) = Uₑₗ/r Yₗₘ(θ,φ)
Derived from first principles the wave equation of an electron in the
hydrogen atom.
- Start with Dirac Notation
- Replace with known general functions
- transform to eigenvalue equation in position space
- replace pieces with function F and find derivatives
F = ∑ Cₖρ
pic 3 first take had factors that needed to be fixed
- Led to the Laguerre Polynomials
These are infinite, though, so
- Force Laguerre Polynomial solutions to truncate
