What is the probability that an electron in the ground state of H is inside the nucleus? a) Calculate first the exact answer assuming that the wave function(image indexed)is correct in the limit r = 0. Let us denote by b the radius of the nucleus b) Expand your result into a power series in terms of the factor ϵ = 2b/a (which is very small) and show that the lowest order term is P ≈ (4/3)(b/a) c) Calculate P with the values b ≈ 10−15m and a ≈ 0.5 × 10−10m. Roughly, this represents the fraction of time that the electron is inside the nucleus.

What is the probability that an electron in the ground state of H is inside the nucleus?


a) Calculate first the exact answer assuming that the wave function(image indexed)is correct in the limit r = 0. Let us denote by b the radius of the nucleus

b) Expand your result into a power series in terms of the factor ϵ = 2b/a (which is very small)
and show that the lowest order term is P ≈ (4/3)(b/a)
c) Calculate P with the values b ≈ 10−15m and a ≈ 0.5 × 10−10m. Roughly, this represents the fraction
of time that the electron is inside the nucleus.
