Does anybody know of some source for a 3 dimensional standing wave. If you dont know waht it is, then dont respond. For those of you that do...yes it is VERY complex, but sombody has to have made one...Well if anybody could help me out then thank.

Obvious its not out there, or nobody knows what it is...

Well i need to make one, lol, so i need some help.
1: I need to create a sphere which would be the main object
2: I need to create random moving electrons
3: I need to create a box that constintly updates where the electrons are
4: I need to be able to slow down, and keep the velocity of the electrons at different velocities depending on how far they are from the nucleous.

This all has to do with quantum mechanics, if ANYBODY could help me out. The only problems i will have is random electrons and a box that constintly updates. If anybody could help with that i would be greatly appreciated. I probly need alot more then what i wrote so if anybody has anything else that i would need, please respond, or if you have anyway to help. im sure sombody must have a program that already does this...

btw i wont be using any bitmaps or special textures
just regular objects, and the electrons probly wont even be shown, moving to fast, lol

To do it in OpenGL, you can simulate it using simple trigonometry. Just make a set of vertices that model a sin wave, and make it oscillate up and down. Of course, to make it look good you''d have to transform it a bit to get the various harmonics. This isn''t the most accurate way of doing it, but it should look ok. Also, since a stationary wave is simply a wave train that rebounds of a surface in anti-phase ( or in phase - I forget which ), you could accurately simulate it that way, which would mean that you could get all the parts between the harmonics just by varying the frequency of the oscillations.

Just sit down and think about it for a while, it''s not that hard to figure it out.

Death of one is a tragedy, death of a million is just a statistic.

Whoops just read your latest post, I was thinking of a more general term of stationary waves ( or are standing and stationary waves different? ).

Death of one is a tragedy, death of a million is just a statistic.

Ok, you have electrons around a nucleous? Or you want the deflection of electroncs as they pass near a nucleous? What is this box that you are going on about?

Ok, so, you have several electrons moving randomly through a material? Or am I completely off track to what you want here?

Well as it turns out there is alot more to QM then i thought...we learned more today, and alot to do with different energy levels and what not. Here is what i have started, basically on the Hydrogen Atom. Here are some basic rules that have to be followed.

1: Electrons enter the energy level of lower energy first.
2: When electrons enter orbitals of equal energy - one elextron occupies each orbital before pairing off occurs.
3: No 2 electrons can have the same set of Quantum Numbers, No more then 2 electrons an orbital (2 can pair off, s = -1/2 and 1/2)

For the H-atom

Ground state
n = 1
L = 0
-1 sublevel
-2 type of vibration is symatric to the circle which means that it will be a circle around a circle (radio mode of vibration)

There is 1 nobal surface at infinate which as a probability of 0. Meaning the electron will never reach it.

m = 1
-1 orbital

so that all means it has an electron capacity of 2 if they pair off. which makes

e- e-
N=1 N=1
L=1 L=1
M=0 M=0
S=-1/2 S=1/2


There would be a sphere inside of the nobal surface called the boundary surface, which is where 95% of the electrons will reach.
Try to draw a pic, it would help. Draw a circle then a bigger one around it, and the smaller one is the boundary surface.

Ok if this is all going over your head, just forget it. I will figure it out. The problum will be the 3-infinate sublevels


CODE

n = number of the sublevel RANGES 1,2,3,4....infinate
L = type of sublevel vibration RANGES 0,1,2,3....infinate and = n-1
m = magnetic quantum number, is the number of orbitals
RANGES -L,0,L (THAT MEANS it can be mroe then one number ie l = 2 then m = -2,-1,0,1,2; aka 5 orbitals)
s = spin quantum number, for pairs, remember opposites attract.
RANGE -1/2 and -1/2


JUST SO YOU KNOW! ORBITAL HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ORBITS. It takes on a whole nother meaning.

Yeah, thats a bit over my head I''m afraid. The most I''ve gone into is quantized levels of energy, work functions, ionization functions, photoelectric effect and what not.

Death of one is a tragedy, death of a million is just a statistic.
