Homework Statement
I need to calculate the probability distribution of 1s and 2p state of hydrogen atom in momentum and in coordinate representations.
I have calculated the wave function in coordinate representation, and the dilemma is, do I simply do the Fourier transform for given wave functions?
Since it's just 1s and 2s (l and m=0 so there is no theta and phi dependence) it becomes just radial, and that's just 1D, right?
And when I'm calculating the FT, do I take the limits of integral from [tex](-\infty, \infty)[/tex] or [tex](0, \infty)[/tex]? Because when I put put the limits from [tex](-\infty, \infty)[/tex] the integral diverges :\
