Th Hyrogn Ato. Th quation. Th first quation w want to sov is φ This quation is of faiiar for; rca that for th fr partic, w ha ψ x for which th soution is Sinc k ψ ψ(x) a cos kx a / k sin kx ± ix cos x ± i sin x a or gnra soution to quations of this typ is A iφ B iφ In orr that (φ) (φ ) Th vau of at so vau of φ ust b th sa at φ, sinc is prioic. it is ncssary that A iφ B iφ A A i(φ ) iφ i B B i(φ ) iφ i Sinc ±i cos ( ) ± i sin ( ) ony whn, ±, ±, th quation has soutions A i φ,, ±, ±,
W can trin A by rquiring that th wavfunctions b noraiz, * φ iφ iφ A φ A φ so A ( ) A, A iφ, ±, ±, ar th fina soutions to th quation. A postscript. Ths wavfunctions ar copx. Sotis it is or usfu to hav ra wavfunctions. Ths can b construct by first fining i φ (cos φ i sin φ) i φ (cos φ i sin φ) an thn aing an subtracting an w say, foring inar cobinations : sy antisy ( ( ) ) cos φ sin φ Ths functions ar aso soutions to th quation. Try it! ach of which is a ra function. W cannot associat with ths functions a particuar vau, but ony with. Th first thr of ths functions ar ± cos φ sin φ tc.
Th Θ quation. Th Θ quation is sin θ θ sin θ Θ θ Θ sin θ βθ. arranging, Θ θ cosθ sinθ Θ θ β sin Θ θ. Now, ak th substitutions x cosθ, sin θ x θ x x θ sinθ x, θ sin θ x cosθ x Aftr so agbra, w gt Θ Θ ( x ) x β Θ x x ( x ). This quation is intica to th associat quation of Lgnr P P ( x ) x ( ) P x x ( x ) if w intify P with Θ an β with ( ). Th soutions P of th associat Lgnr quation ar ca th associat Lgnr functions; ths ay b xprss in cos for as (sinc x cos θ) P (cosθ) ( cos θ) k k ( ) ( k)!(cosθ) ( k)!k!( k)! k

Th sign of P (x) is oftn inicat by a circuar iagra, - θ θ θ At th north po in this iagra, θ an x cos θ ; at th quator, x cos ; at th south po, x cos -.
