The wave function $(\Psi)$ of $2s$ is given by
$\Psi_{2s} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{2\pi}} \left(\frac{1}{a_0}\right)^{3/2} \left(2 - \frac{r}{a_0}\right) e^{-r/2a_0}$
At $r = r_0$,a radial node is formed. Thus,$r_0$ in terms of $a_0$ is:

  • A
    $r_0 = a_0$
  • B
    $r_0 = 4a_0$
  • C
    $r_0 = \frac{a_0}{2}$
  • D
    $r_0 = 2a_0$
