Question

The normalized ground state wave function of 2 hydrogen is V100 = r120, where (47)1/2 a 3/2 ao is the Bohr radius. What is the most likely distance that the electron is from the nucleus? (A) O (B) ao 2 (C) ao 2 (D) ao (E) 200

Please show every step and provide thorough explanation. I don't understand this problem at all (I don't even understand what psi means).

I'm studying for the Physics GRE, and I was never taught this in any class, so as much info as you could give me would be very helpful!

(The answer is D according to the answer sheet)
