Abstract: We consider the equation for the radial part of the wave function of the Schrodinger equation in the N-dimensional space. A new effective potential is derived when the equation for the radial part of the wave function is written in the form of a one-dimensional Schrodinger equation. As a constructive example, we find and discuss the solution, the orthonormality, and the energy eigenvalues of the radial part of the wave function for an infinite spherical potential well in N dimensions.
