The Wentzel-Brillouin-Kramers Method of Solving the Wave Equation
Abstract
A more general treatment than has been available of the Wentzel-Brillouin-Kramers method of solving Schr\"odinger's equation for one degree of freedom is given. Wentzel's original energy-level condition is shown to be an asymptotic expression, good for large masses and large values of the quantum number. The connection between this method and that of Young is discussed. Finally the formulas are written in a form convenient for application to the calculation of energy levels from actual potential functions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
