And when we take the wave function and square it, that's going to be equal to the probability density of finding an electron at some point in your atom.

当我们把波函数平方时，就等于在某处,找到一个电子的概率密度。

So again if we look at this in terms of its physical interpretation or probability density, what we need to do is square the wave function.

如果我们从物理意义或者,概率密度的角度来看这个问题，我们需要把波函数平方。

So, that's probability density, but in terms of thinking about it in terms of actual solutions to the wave function, let's take a little bit of a step back here.

这就是概率密度，但作为,把它当成是，波函数的解，让我们先倒回来一点。

So, we can look at other radial probability distributions of other wave functions that we talked about.

我们可以来看一看我们讨论过的,其它一些波函数的径向概率分布。

So again, we can think about the probability density in terms of squaring the wave function.

同样的，我们可以把,波函数平方考虑概率密度。

And in doing that, we'll also talk about the shapes of h atom wave functions, specifically the shapes of orbitals, and then radial probability distribution, which will make sense when we get to it.

为了这样做，我们要讲一讲，氢原子，波函数的形状，特别是轨道的形状，然后要讲到径向概率分布，当我们讲到它时，你们更能理解。

So, what we can do to actually get a probability instead of a probability density that we're talking about is to take the wave function squared, which we know is probability density, and multiply it by the volume of that very, very thin spherical shell that we're talking about at distance r.

我们能得到一个概率,而不是概率密度的方法,就是取波函数的平方，也就是概率密度，然后把它乘以一个在ｒ处的,非常非常小的,壳层体积。

You can also have angular notes, and when we talk about an anglar node, what we're talking about is values of theta or values of phi at which the wave function, and therefore, the wave function squared, or the probability density are going to be equal to zero.

我们也可以有角向节点，当我们说道一个角向节点时，我们指的是在某个theta的值,或者phi的值的地方，波函数以及波函数的平方，或者概率密度等于零。

And what here is just a graph of the 1 s wave function going across some radius defined this way, and you can see that the probability - well, this is the wave function, so we would have to square it and think about the probability.

这里是,1s波函数,沿这个方向的图，你们可以看到概率,这是波函数，所以我们可以把它平方,并想成是概率。
