Levine, Physical Chemistry

This document discusses spherical coordinates and their relationship to Cartesian coordinates. It provides the equations to convert between the two coordinate systems, defining the variables r, θ, and φ to represent the radial distance, polar angle, and azimuthal angle in spherical coordinates. It also gives the equations for the momentum operators in spherical coordinates in terms of these variables.
