Any region of space in which the kinetic energy T of a particle would become negative is forbidden for classical motion. For a hydrogen atom in the ground state:
(a) find the classically forbidden region
(b) using the ground-state wave function [tex]\psi[/tex]100(r), calculate the probability of finding the electron in this region.
I was able to do part (b) and I got 0.238103.
As for part (a), I don't know what to do. I'm able to do the mathematics, I just can't seem to start a problem. Thank you.
