—The translational addition theorems for the spherical scalar and vector wave functions are derived in a novel, unified way based on the simple and well-known concepts of the radiation and incoming wave patterns.This approach makes the derivation simpler and more transparent compared,to the previous approaches.As a result, we also obtain alternative and partly simpler expressions for the translation coefficients in the vector case.
