Graphing Real Spherical Harmonics in Desmos Calculator

In this video, I graph out the real spherical harmonics using the amazing Desmos graphing calculator via a project someone made. I do a quick breakdown of the formulas they used, noting the added normalization constants, and how it matches up with our derived formulas from solving Laplace's equation in spherical coordinates. I also show what effects tinkering with the principal, orbital angular momentum, and magnetic quantum numbers has on the resulting 3D figures!
