Chapter 12, Problem 74E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:Position of nodes for indicated wave function ${\psi }_{300}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:In an attempt to define quantum mechanical picture of electron in an atom a function depicted as $\psi$ . It essentially represents the position of electron in three dimensional space with the help of three Cartesian coordinates. The square of wave function ${\psi }^2$ is used to denote region of maximum probability around the particular orbital. It essentially represents the region that has highest probability to locate an electron.
