Klein-Gordon equation


The Klein-Gordon equationMathworldPlanetmath is an equation of mathematical physics that describes spin-0 particles. It is given by:

ψ=(mc)2ψ

Here the symbol refers to the wave operator, or D’Alembertian, (=2-1c2t2)and ψ is the wave function of a particle.It is a Lorentz invariant expression.

0.1 Derivation

Like the Dirac equationMathworldPlanetmath, the Klein-Gordon equation is derived from the relativistic expression for total energy:

E2=m2c4+p2c2

Instead of taking the square root (as Dirac did), we keep the equation in squared form and replace the momentum and energy with their operator equivalentsPlanetmathPlanetmath, E=it, p=-i. This gives (in disembodied operator form)

-22t2=m2c4-2c22

Rearranging:

2(c22-2t2)=m2c4

Dividing both sides by 2c2:

(2-1c22t2)=m2c22

Identifying the expression in brackets as the D’Alembertian and right-multiplying the whole expression by ψ , we obtain the Klein-Gordon equation:

ψ=(mc)2ψ
