Q4. At time t = 0, the wavefunction of the Hydrogen atom is
(r, 0) = 1 √10 (22/100+210 + √2211 + √3/21,-1)
where the subscripts are the values of the quantum numbers n, l, m. The expectation value of the energy of the system is
a) (E) = 1/10(2E1+ 4E2)
b) (E) = 1/10(2E1+ 6E2)
c) (E) = 1/10(4E1 – 6E2)
