Chapter 11, Problem 11.10E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The equation 11.15 is to be derived from the expression immediately preceding it.

Concept introduction:

The relation between the sequential coefficients is known as the recursion relation. The relation between the two coefficients $c_n$ and $c_{n+2}$ is given by,

$c_{n+2}=\frac{\alpha +2\alpha n-\frac{2mE}{{\hslash }^2}}{\left(n+2\right)\left(n+1\right)}{c}_n$

This expression helps to calculate the value of the successive coefficients if the value of previous coefficient is known.
