Answer

(a) The probability of finding trapped electron for states (2,1,1) is 0.609.

(b) The probability of finding trapped electron for states (1,2,1) is 0.196.

(c) The probability of finding trapped electron for states (1,1,2) is 0.609.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The state of electron in (a) is nx,ny,nz=2,1,1

The state of electron in (b) is nx,ny,nz=1,2,1

The state of electron in (c) is nx,ny,nz=1,1,2

The normalization constant is the constant which is multiplied to non-negative area to become unity.

02

Step 2(a): Determination of probability of finding electron for (2,1,1) 

The probability of finding an electron in the region is given by:

pnx,ny,nz=x=0,y=L/3,z=0x=L,y=2L/3,z=L2L3/2sinnxxLsinnyyLsinnzzL2dxdydz......1

Substitute all the values in the above equation (1).

p2,1,1=x=0,y=L/3,z=0x=L,y=2L/3,z=L2L3/2sin2xLsin1yLsin1zL2dxdydzp2,1,1=2L3x=0x=Lsin22xLdxy=L/3y=2L/3sin2yLdyz=0z=Lsin2zLdzp2,1,1=2L3L222L/3-L/32-L4sin22L/3L-sin2L/3Lp2,1,1=2LL6+L43

p2,1,1=13-143p2,1,1=0.196

Therefore, the probability of finding trapped electron for states (1,2,1) is 0.196.
