Question:

Using ζ as a variational parameter in the normalized function

VHL: = 1/VT (5/a}/²e $rl0,

allows one to vary the size of the orbital. Show this by calculating the probability of finding the electron inside a sphere of radius a0 for different values of ζ using the standard integral

-ax -ax х dx = -e

a. Obtain an expression for the probability as a function of ζ.

b. Evaluate the probability for ζ = 1.5, 2.5, and 3.5.
