Question

A rescaled version of a function with this second name contains the expression [read slowly] “e to the quantity t times the dot product of x and a.” The factor “negative one to the m” is a compensating phase factor in functions with this [emphasize] (15[1])second word; that phase factor is named after (15[1])Condon and Shortley. Expressing the wave (15[1])function (15[1])in spherical coordinates, separating (15[1])variables, and solving for (*) angular (10[2])solutions yield (10[4])functions (10[3]-5[1])called (10[10]-5[1])“spherical [this word].” The energy eigenstates of (-5[1])a quantum system described (10[1])by this adjective can be derived using Hermite polynomials; those energy eigenstates can be expressed as multiples of “h-bar omega.” For 10 points, Hooke’s law applies (10[2]-5[1])to “simple oscillators” (10[1])described (10[1])by (10[4])what adjective? ■END■

ANSWER: harmonic [accept simple harmonic oscillator; accept quantum harmonic oscillator; accept spherical harmonics; accept spheroidal harmonics]
