Chapter 11, Problem 11.85E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of $r_{\max }$ is given by equation 11.68 for ${\Psi }_{1s}$ is to be shown.

Concept introduction:

The Bohr radius is given by the formula as given below.

$a=\frac{4\pi {\hslash }^2{\epsilon }_0}{\mu e^2}$

The Bohr radius is given by a group of constants and hence it is a constant itself. It has units of length. The radius corresponding to this distance is the probable distance of electron from nucleus in the first orbit. This radius is same as that depicted by Bohr.
