Hi Nehru,
I've been going over your "Particle in a Box" series, and reading the links provided. I will say that the math and concepts are still a little bit over my head, but I'm catching on (I think!).
I have a question for you: what level of "confidence" to you have in these "quantum numbers" being a correct and valid model of the atom? I have found many mistakes in legacy science's measurements and procedures. What is it about this that gives it credence?
In regards to the Schrodinger equations, isn't "hydrogen" a poor choice to evaluate these on, being a compound structure, rather than a true atom? The "observed" hydrogen is a proton, electron neutrino, and most likely a captured electron, which they take as a single atom. Which part(s) of hydrogen are the spectral lines and quantum numbers applicable to?
I think that the two angles referred to in your "hyperphysics" site may actually refer to the net motion of each particle composing hydrogen -- the proton as one angle, and the electron neutrino as the other (since they do not know about the electron neutrino being part of hydrogen), and the "orbiting" electron as the projection of the captured electron in the atom.
I have been building a model based on the last concepts I related to you, with "turns" and a "shift" represented as a shear vector between the double-rotations, and have had limited success. It works just about perfectly up to Helium, then I run into a problem with the recursive nature of the "turn". I have a logic error somewhere in my geometry subroutines, but I haven't found it yet.
Another consequence of the model was that "speed" in the time region may not be 1/t^2, as Larson indicates. What I am coming up with is a complex speed (as you suggest in your wavenumber equations), where speed = (s + ti), and equiv. space, s=1/t, so TR speed = 1/t + ti. The interactive effects outside the time region being the integral, as Larson shows in BPOM. Integrating the "spatial" aspect, 1/t gives ln(t), as in the inter-atomic distance, and integrating the "temporal" aspect, ti, gives -t^2/2, indicating that 4th power relationship between atoms, and the "1/2mv^2" relationships that show up in the energy equations. What do you think, is this possible as a time region speed?
I'm going to search the Internet to see if I can find the analogous wavefunctions and spectra for helium, which may be an easier place for me to start, since there is no electric motion to contend with, and it is a "true" atom. If you know of any sites with such info (as you related on hydrogen and your Particle in a Box documents), please send me a link.
Thanks,
Bruce
