Question

2. The ground state of the hydrogen atom is given by $\psi = \frac{2}{\sqrt{a}}e^{-r/a}$. If $b$ is the radius of the proton, find the probability that the electron is inside the proton.

          2. The ground state of the hydrogen atom is given by
$\psi = \frac{2}{\sqrt{a}}e^{-r/a}$.
If $b$ is the radius of the proton, find the probability that the electron is inside the proton.

2. The ground state of the hydrogen atom is given by
ψ = (2)/(√(a))e^-r/a.
If b is the radius of the proton, find the probability that the electron is inside the proton.
