In that case I'm wondering what the probability density for the electron looks like during transitions.
We've all seen the 3d spatial probability densities for electron orbitals, but what about a 3d visualisation of the probability density during a transition? Has anyone seen such a thing?
But isn't it the case that the allowable atomic energy levels are solutions to the steady state wave equation?
What about the time dependent case of a transition from one energy level to another? Does the electron probability distribution morph smoothly from one distribution to another during...
