Sir I'm confused between (R) wave function,probability wave function(4*3.14r^2R^2) and probability density(R^2) graphs shown in op tandon.
I'm not understanding what is representing what?
he is also mentioning e density is maximum at nucleus for 1s orbital????I request u to provide a detailed explanation if possible of the graphs and also about e density variation.

Acc. to the schodinger wave eqn. the probability of finding an e- in an atom is given by the -
probability wave function(4*3.14r^2R^2). By observing graph for 1s you will see that the function dec. linearly with inc. in r, which means the probaility of finding e- or electron density is more near nucleus.
