REVIEW OF WAVE MECHANICS
... The wave function oscillates in space when the total energy E > V(r), the local potential energy. However when E < V(r) solutions of the TISE require the wave function to decay or grow exponentially. Clearly if the particle is to remain bound inside its well, its wave function must only decay into t ...

... The statement indicates that the electron has absorbed energy and moved out further away from the nucleus (into a higher energy level). The absorption of energy gives the electron a higher potential energy than it had in the ground state. 5. What type of energy causes an electron to move from its gr ...
