Hi
I thought I knew the answer to this question until I encountered the following question:
What is the unit of R(r)?
We are of course talking about the radial part of the solution to Schrodinger's equation in spherical coordinates (i.e. [itex]\psi(r,\theta,\phi) = R(r)\Theta(\theta)\Phi(\phi)[/itex]).
I tried to look at the integral needed for normalization and just got more confused:
[itex]\int R(r)r^2 dr \int\Theta(\theta)sin\theta d\theta \int \Phi(\phi) d\phi = 1[/itex]
How should I approach problems like this?
