Homework Statement
Its simple, I've encountered this problem in Beiser's book and it doesn't seem right:
Prove that the function R_{10}(r) = \frac{2}{a_{0}^{3/2}}\cdot e^{-\frac{r}{a_0}} is normalized.
Homework Equations
\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} |\psi|^2 dV = 1
The Attempt at a Solution
I figured it's simply just taking the integral
R_{10} (r)=\int^{\infty}_{0}( \frac{2}{a_{0}^{3/2}}\cdot e^{-\frac{r}{a_0}})^2dr = 1
but the result is not 1, it's 2/a_0^2
