Detailed Description

View in nbviewer Open in SWAN Plot the Amplitude of a Hydrogen Atom.

Visualize the Amplitude of a Hydrogen Atom in the n = 2, l = 0, m = 0 state. Demonstrates how TH2F can be used in Quantum Mechanics.

The formula for Hydrogen in this energy state is \( \psi_{200} = \frac{1}{4\sqrt{2\pi}a_0 ^{\frac{3}{2}}}(2-\frac{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}{a_0})e^{-\frac{\sqrt{x^2+y^2}}{2a_0}} \)

#include <cmath>
double WaveFunction(double x, double y) {
double r = sqrt(x *x + y*y);
double w = (1/pow((4*sqrt(2*TMath::Pi())* 1), 1.5)) * (2 - (r / 1)*pow(TMath::E(), (-1 * r)/2)); // Wavefunction formula for psi 2,0,0
return w*w; // Amplitude
