This page owes a lot to the ring_wave_guide page, but I felt like re-writing it to add some more derevation, and the other page is not very clear in places. And the energy is plain wrong :-).

In the comments to the ring wave guide page the energy is given as (n^2 h^2)/(2 m L^2). Note this is h, not hbar, which explains the discrepancy in the equations.

Next time you find an article riddled with errors, why not fix them instead of starting another one? 65.29.47.153 11:53, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Particle in a ring is the same thing as ring wave guide, no? I think "particle in a ring" is the more common phrase. Pfalstad 11:19, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
