Example 6.1
Find the ground-state electron energy E1 by substituting the radial wave function R that corre-
sponds to n = I, I = 0 into Eq. (6.14).

The function 8 varies with zenith angle for aU quantum numbers I and m,
except
I = m, = 0, which are s states. The value of 1812 for an s state is a constant; t, in fact.
This means that since 14>1 2 is also a constant, the electron probability density It/JI' is

(b) For bound states we require that for T -+ 00, R(r) + 0, or Jp remains
finite. This demands that p 2 0. R(T )must also be finite at r = 0, which
means that x(O) = Jp(cx) = 0.
This equation has an infinite number of real roots. For E = 2.2 MeV,
Figure 2.5 shows the contours of Jp (z) for different values (indicated by
right and top numbers) of the function in the x - p plane. The lowest zero
of J,,(z) for p = 0.65 is 3.3, the next 6.6. Thus for a! z 3.3, the system has
