Shrodinger equation of Hydrogen atom

The time independent Shrodinger equation:

1 1 1 1 2
0

This equation can be solved by separation variable.

Let , , ,
1 2 1 1 1

The both sides of this equation must be constant,

1 2

1 2
0
1 1 1

1 1

To transfer this partial differential equation to two ordinary differential equations, we

use again the separation variable method:
Let ,
1 1

The both sides of this equation must be constant, let constant is

This is a recurrence relation, which relates the odd coefficients together, and even
coefficients together. So if we have only & we can find all the other terms in
solution:
The assumed solution

must be finite to be accepted physically; so let the terms only up to (K), i.e. all terms
after will be zero; so 0
From above equation:

If we let 1
We get 1
Were is the primary quantum number,
By this way we found;
