In physics, the plane wave expansion expresses a plane wave as a sum of spherical waves, : , where * is the imaginary unit, * is a wave vector of length , * is a position vector of length , * are spherical Bessel functions, * are Legendre polynomials, and * the hat denotes the unit vector. In the special case where is aligned with the z-axis, : , where is the spherical polar angle of . == Expansion in spherical harmonics == With the spherical harmonic addition theorem the equation can be rewritten as : , where * are the spherical harmonics and * the superscript denotes complex conjugation. Note that the complex conjugation can be interchanged between the two spherical harmonics due to symmetry. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Plane wave expansion」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
