Hydrogen radial wavefunction in the first excited shell

ID: hydrogen-radial-wavefunction-in-the-first-excited-shell

Writing , the normalized radial wavefunctions are and . Radial normalization uses . The first function has one positive radial node at ; the second has none. Their behavior at the origin differs from that of the reduced radial function and from the radial probability density .
