Problem

The wave function of an electron of a hydrogen atom in the ground state takes the form (r) = A e-r/ri, where A is a certain constant, r1 i s the first Bohr radius. Find: (a) the most probable distance between the electron and the nucleus; (b) the mean value of modulus of the Coulomb force acting on the electron; (c) the mean value of the potential energy of the electron in the field of the nucleus.
