The wavefunction is denoted by the symbol ψ
and the probability distribution is the squares of the mod of wavefunction, that is |ψ|2.
so option (1st) is correct.

Which of the following statements about the quantum-mechanical model of atoms is true? O Not only did the Bohr model correctly describe the hydrogen atom and its line spectra, but it also perfectly described more complicated multi-electron atoms. O Multiple measurements of the position of hydrogen's electron, when it's in the ground state, find a range of values, but on average, it is located at a distance of one Bohr radius from the proton. O There are multiple values of...
3. The quantum harmonic oscillator is the quantum-mechanical analog of the classical harmonic oscillator. Because an arbitrary potential can usually be approximated as a harmonic potential at the vicinity of a stable equilibrium point, it is one of the most important model systems in quantum mechanics. Consider an electron trapped by a one-dimensional harmonic potential V(x)=-5 mo?x” (where m is the electron mass, o is a constant angular frequency). In this case, the Schrödinger equation takes the following form, **...
