Graphs of Schrodinger's wave equation.

In the graphs of shi(r) vs r and shi²(r) vs r, the does the magnitude of local maxima increases or decreases with increase in r?

And is the result same in case of both shi(r) vs r and shi²(r) vs r?

And what is the reason behind it?

Note: please use simple words so that I can understand easily. It's not like i don't understand difficult words or that my vocab is weak, it's just that I prefer simpler words for understanding.

Thank you in advance🙏🙏🙏

I think it is psi

It’s definitely not shi

And the local maxima decreases with increase in r

No the graph of psi(r) vs r and psi^2(r) vs r is different, this is because, psi(r) can take both negative and positive values, while, psi^2(r) can take only positive values

But for the graph 4pi^2 r^2psi^2(r) vs r, the local maxima increases with r
