Hydrogen Atom I
An electron in the 2s state of the hydrogen atom has the wavefunction
where a0 is the Bohr radius. Consider a thin spherical shell with radius
r1 = a0 and thickness dr, and another thin spherical shell with
radius r2 = 4a0 and thickness dr. What is the ratio of the probability
that the electron will be found within the thickness of the first thin shell,
Pa0, to the probability
that it will be found within the thickness of the second thin shell
P4a0?
Pa0 / P4a0 =
