I was just a little confused on one point from today's lecture.
Professor Fryhle said that psi squared is a region of space where
probability is high of finding an electron. My understanding is that it
is simply the probability (whether or not that probability is high) of
finding an electron in that region. If I am mistaken please correct me.
Also, how do nodes come into play in calculating psi squared?

Thanks
