Density Plot of Radial * Polar Wave Functions
The word "density" in the title refers to a method for
plotting 3-D information on a two dimensional screen. Here it has nothing
to do with the probability density in quantum mechanics.
Section 4 Exercises:
-
Independent of n, does the number of angular lobes
equal the number you found in Exercise 2 of the Polar part?
-
Independent of theta, do the zero
points for the amplitude in the radial direction match those of Exercise 2
of the Radial part?
