I've been given the question "What is ∇exp(ip⋅r/ħ) ?"
I recognise that this is the del operator acting on a wave function but using the dot product of momentum and position in the wave function is new to me. The dot product is always scalar so I was wondering if it would be correct in writing that it is equal to prcosθ and then using the spherical coordinate del operator on the wave function to find the result. £
