Public Shared Function SphericalBesselJ ( _
	n As Integer, _
	x As Double _
) As Double

public:
static double SphericalBesselJ(
	int n, 
	double x
)

static member SphericalBesselJ : 
        n:int * 
        x:float -> float

Parameters

n (Int32): The order parameter.

x (Double): The argument.

Return Value

The value of j_n(x).

Remarks

The spherical Bessel functions occur in solutions to the wave equations with spherical symmetry. The regular sperhical Bessel functions are finite at the origin, and thus occur in situations where the wave equation is satisfied at the origin.

The regular spherical Bessel functions are related to the regular Bessel functions of half-integer order by j_n(x) = Sqrt(π/2x) J_n+1/2(x).
