If you copy and paste the program source code below into a text editor, you can easily compile and run this.
(This class file name is MathMethod, so save this text editor as "MathMethod.java", and compile it.)
In this program, first we input the initial x-coordinate r1 (in MM) of electron 1, and the absolute value of the total energy E (in eV) of helium atom.
From the inputted values, this program outputs the y component of electron 1 velocity after a quarter of its orbit, and WN (the number of de Broglie's waves included in one quarter of the orbital).
Here 1 SS = 1 × 10-23 second and 1 MM = 1 × 10-14 meter.
The initial x-coodinate is automatically increased per calculation until +100.
