Consider the hydrogen atom to be a sphere of radius equal to the Bohr radius, $a_{0},$ given by Equation 3.29 in Chapter $3,$ and calculate the approximate value of the ratio of the nuclear mass density to the atomic mass density.
Calculate the radial probability density $P(r)$ for the hydrogen atom in its ground state at (a) $r=0,$ (b) $r=a$ , and (c) $r=2 a,$ where $a$ is the Bohr radius.
Calculate the probability that the electron in the hydrogen atom, in its ground state, will be found between spherical shells whose radii are $a$ and $2 a,$ where $a$ is the Bohr radius.
