[SOLVED] to check if these wave functions are normalized to 1
I need to check if the following radial functions are properly normalized to unit probability
R(1,0) (r) =
2(1/ao)^3/2 e^(-r/ao)
R(2,1) (r) =
(1/2*ao)^3/2 *[ r/ sqrt(3)*a0] e^(-r/2ao)
We do know that
∞
∫ u ^n e^(-u) du = factorial(n)
0
To normalize the wave function in the following way
∞
∫ [tex] \phi ^2[/tex] = 1
-∞
Now applying the same for R(1,0)
∞
∫ [2(1/ao)^3/2 e^(-r/ao)]^2 dr
-∞
=
∞
∫ 4(1/ao)^3 e^(-2r/ao) dr
-∞
How do I proceed further.
Regards.
