Question

write schrodinger wave equation in polar coordinates​

Answer 1

If the potential energy and the boundary conditions are spherically symmetric, it is useful to transform H into spherical coordinates and seek solutions to Schrödinger's equation which can be written as the product of a radial portion and an angular portion: ψ(r, θ, φ) = R(r)Y (θ, φ), or even R(r)Θ(θ)Φ(φ).
