Helmholtz equation stated that

\[\nabla^2 u(r,\theta,\phi) =-ku(r,\theta,\phi) = f(r,\theta,\phi) \]

This is being used for Poisson equation with zero boundary:

\[\nabla^2 u(r,\theta,\phi) = f(r,\theta,\phi) \]

and

\[u(a,\theta,\phi)=0\]

I just don't see how this can work as \[k=m^2\] is a number only.

If \[\nabla^2 u(r,\theta,\phi)=1\] which means \[ku(r,\theta,\phi)\] is only constant numbers depending on \[m\]!!!

If \[u(r,\theta,\phi)\] is a constant number only, that cannot be right?

Please explain. Thanks
