Visualization of Orbitals (9) -Hydrogen Atomic Orbital as a Standing WaveSumio TOkITA Saitama University (Emeritus), 255 Shimo-Ohkubo, Sakura-ku, Saitama, Saitama, 338-8570, JapanThe characteristic of the one-dimensional standing wave in a string is observed in the cross section of the twodimensional standing wave of a circular membrane. Vibrations of a circular membrane of a kettledrum are known to be simulated by the use of Bessel functions [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. The cross section pattern of three-dimensional atomic orbitals obtained from the wave equation of a hydrogen atom is shown to have wave character by comparison with the dynamic standing wave of a two-dimensional circular membrane.
