The discussion revolves around calculating the probability of finding an electron in a classically forbidden region for a hydrogen atom in its first excited state. The problem involves quantum mechanics concepts and the associated mathematical framework.
Some participants have provided guidance on the integration process and have pointed out potential issues with the original poster's approach. There is an ongoing exploration of the mathematical details and assumptions involved in the problem.
Participants note the importance of correctly interpreting variables and limits in the context of quantum mechanics. There is also a mention of the original poster's notation choices and their implications for the calculations.
Your work looks pretty good. However, you need to integrate over 3 dimensional space, not just over ##r##. How would you express the volume element ##dV## in terms of spherical coordinates?reminiscent said:I feel like this answer is too weird... I would like my work to be checked on.
I think the OP is using ##e'## for the proton charge in order to distinguish it from the base of the natural log function.BvU said:Do I see an ##e^{14}## in your ##E## ?
