Detailed Solution

All are correct. When an electron is in energy state, the wave function corresponding to that energy state, contains all information about the electron. In fact one consider one wave function as a 3D wave amplitude'
It is a mathematical function whose value depends upon the coordinates of the electron in the atom and does not carry any physical meaning.
* Such wave functions of hydrogen or hydrogen like species with one electron are called atomic orbitals.
* Wave functions pertaining to one-electron species are called one-electron system
