Question:
Because the three-dimensional harmonic oscillator potential (see Equation 4.215) is spherically symmetrical, the Schrödinger equation can also be handled by separation of variables in spherical coordinates. Use the power series method (as in Sections 2.3.2 and 4.2.1) to solve the radial equation. Find the recursion formula for the coefficients, and determine the allowed energies. How is N related to n in this case? Draw the diagram analogous to Figures 4.3 and 4.6, and determine the degeneracy of nth energy level.
