The math behind it

Jₙ(x) is computed from its power series. J₀ and J₁ are the most common orders, oscillating and decaying as x grows.

J₀(2) ≈ 0.2239, J₁(2) ≈ 0.5767.

Where do Bessel functions appear?

In drumhead vibrations, heat flow in cylinders, and electromagnetic waves in circular waveguides.
