(a) “An electron is caught by the interatomic void site of a Cu crystal and exhibits 0.3 and 0.7 probabilities at a time in the middle point of the trap” Discuss the validity of this observation and explain why. (b) “The state function of a hydrogen atom is broken at a space point on its way towards it mean position when the atom is oscillating” Justify the possibility of this.
