SPH 402: Quantum Mechanics II
2020/2021
Lecturer
Dr. Lawrence Ochoo
, Overview
This is part of:
An on-line, interactive instructional teaching/learning
system
A blended system of collaborative learning process.
Delivery would comprise:
Lectures, forum discussions, Chats, e-tivity, group work,
quizzes.
2
, LESSON 1
1.0 Overview of Quantum Mechanics in General
Learning Outcomes
At the end of this Lesson you will be able to:
Know difference between quantum mech I and quantum Mech II.
Know why quantum mechanics II requires the Schrodinger
equation in spherical polar coordinates form.
Define a spherically symmetric potential and give example.
Write the full form of Schrodinger equation in spherical polar
coordinates
3
, 1.0. Introduction
The concerns of quantum mechanics are:
• interpretation and predictions of the behavior of
the particles of matter, in relation to the properties of
matter.
• Review some of the failures of the predictions of
classical mechanics
