= Particle in a spherically symmetric potential
{wiki=Particle_in_a_spherically_symmetric_potential}
In quantum mechanics, a particle in a spherically symmetric potential refers to a scenario where a particle is subjected to a potential that only depends on the distance from a central point, rather than the direction. This type of potential typically takes the form \\( V(r) \\), where \\( r \\) is the radial distance from the origin (the center of symmetry). \#\#\# Characteristics of Spherically Symmetric Potential 1.
