Homework Statement
The questions are in the file.
Hint:
Part (a) asks you to find the normalization constant for P(N, R). Note that this is a 3D distribution: P(N, R)dRxdRydRz gives you the probability of finding R in a certain "differential volume" of size dRxdRydRz located at the vector position R. I would write P(N, R)=P(N, Rx)P(N, Ry)P(N, Rz) and normalize P(N, Rx), P(N, Ry) and P(N, Rz) independently. These have the same functional form (e.g. Gaussian), so you only have to find the normalization constant for one (say P(N, Rx)) and then cube the normalization constant to find the normalization constant for P(N, R). Note that Rx, Ry and Rz are vector components and run from -infinity to +infinity.I am particular unsure as to how to go about the first steps of A; ie finding the normalisation constant.
Thank you very much!
Any help would be massively appreciated.
