The classically forbidden region!
Hi guys I am new here, i understand that you can't give me an answer at all but i am really struggling with a particular question in quantum physics.
Q) Calculate for the ground state of the hydrogen atom the probability of finding the electron in the classically forbidden region.
I know that the classically forbidden region is where the potential energy is greater than the kinetic energy, I know that in QM the probability is the square of the modulus of the wavefunction, and the potential is coulombs potential, I just cannot figure out how to work this out.
I would appreciate help in this!
ps I know the wave function
Thanks for your time
