If the radial wave function represents the probability that an electron will be contained within an infinitesimal volume at some specified radius, how can it be then that some plots of the radial wave functions have negative values, would this not imply a negative probability at these distances...
In the first paragraph I mean that the first spectrum was taken of just air and the second contained a methane gas cell which the photons passed through as well as air. But the absorption for the CO2 in air can't be seen in the spectrum with the presence of the methane gas. What else here is...
I've been doing IR spectroscopy to examine to the absorption spectrum of water and carbon dioxide, after which I took another absorption spectrum with a methane gas cell. The absorption spectrum without the methane shows absorption from carbon dioxide around 4000nm, however, this is not apparent...
