PHYS 551 TERM PROJECT

Due: 12/16/99 without fail (or with, if it is late!)

Write a program to solve the Schroedinger equation

where V(r) is a central potential of the form


Take as parameters


Find the first 2 (bound) energy eigenvalues (each) for

and

and plot the corresponding wavefunctions.

Some things to note (aka hints):

  1. Be sure to scale out dimensional quantities. Also be sure the magnitudes of various quantities are not such as to produce ridiculous results.
  2. Test the differential equation algorithm you are using before embarking on a serious runs with high precision.
