Schrodinger equation For a spherically symmetric state of a hydrogen atom, the Schrodinger equation in spherical coordinates is: 2(d^2R/dr^2) + (2/r)(dR/dr) - (l(l+1)/r^2)R = (8̀^2mE/^2)R (a) Show that the 1s wave function for an electron in hydrogen, R = (1/ȡŠ̀a_0^3) * e^(-r/a_0), where a_0 = (4̀_0^2)/(me^2), satisfies the Schrodinger equation. (b) What is the energy of the atom for this state?
