Information
radial equation (Definition)

The radial equation is

            [               ]
  ℏ2-d2u-         ℏ2-l(l +-1)
− 2m dr2 +   V +  2m    r2    u = Eu

It’s derivation is straight forward using separation of variables with the time independent Schrödinger equation in spherical coordinates.
