P is the probability of finding the 1s electron of the hydrogen...
is the probability of finding the electron of the hydrogen atom in a spherical shell of infinitesimal thickness, , at a distance, , from the nucleus. The volume of this shell is . The qualitative sketch of the dependence of on is:









Options
- A

- B

- C

- D

Correct answer
C. 
Step-by-step solution
For , the radial part of the wave function is:
Probability of finding an in a spherical shell of thickness, ~at a distance from the nucleus:
So, is zero at and .

So, the plot of radial probability function, ~V/s& is as shown above.
