Hi Mannu136! Welcome to PF! :smile:

Why would they be any other shape than circular, if the lens you start with is circular? :confused:

Give us a link to the text you're studying (or copy it),

and tell us which part you don't understand, so that we can explain that part. :wink:​

Thread 'Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere'

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
