Problem Statement
In quantum mechanics one is interested in determining
the wave function and energy states of an atom. These
are determined from Schrödinger’s equation. In the
case of the hydrogen atom, it is possible to find wave
functions ψ that are functions only of r , the distance
from the proton to the electron. Such functions are
called spherically symmetric and satisfy the simple
equation

where e20,m, and h are constants and E , also a
constant, represents the energy of the atom, which we
assume here to be negative. With these details in mind,
we set out to answer some questions on the subject.
