Chapter 11, Problem 11.74E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The validation of the normalization constant in Table 11.4 by normalizing $\Psi =e^{-r/a}$ in spherical polar coordinates is to be shown.

Concept introduction:

In quantum mechanics, the wavefunction is given by $\Psi$. The wavefunction contains all the information about the state of the system. The wavefunction is the function of the coordinates of particles and time. The square of the probability function, ${\left|\Psi \right|}^2$, relates to the probability density.
