They both decrease, and here's why:
Let's consider the shi(r) equation first. The function contains the coefficient of e^(-r/(na0)). Because of the negative sign on r as well as the fact that it is in the numerator in the exponent, the amplitude will decrease as you increase the radius.
The shi^2(r) function would produce this same effect, but the "damping" occurs even faster than in the first shi(r) function we looked at.
Hope this helps!
In the graphs of shi(r) vs r and shi²(r) vs r, the does the magnitude of local maxima increases or decreases with increase in r?
And is the result same in case of both shi(r) vs r and shi²(r) vs r?
And what is the reason behind it?
Note: please use simple words so that I can understand easily. It's not like i don't understand difficult words or that my vocab is weak, it's just that I prefer simpler words for understanding.
Thank you in advance🙏🙏🙏
