§10.73 Physical Applications
Bessel functions first appear in the investigation of a physical problem in Daniel Bernoulli’s analysis of the small oscillations of a uniform heavy flexible chain. … Bessel functions of the first kind, J n ( x ) , arise naturally in applications having cylindrical symmetry in which the physics is described either by Laplace’s equation 2 V = 0 , or by the Helmholtz equation ( 2 + k 2 ) ψ = 0 . … More recently, Bessel functions appear in the inverse problem in wave propagation, with applications in medicine, astronomy, and acoustic imaging. …
