Outcomes of Today’s Lecture
Conditions which must be satisfied by wavefunction are
Schrodinger time dependent wave equation:-
In 1926, Erwin Schrodinger formulated a wave equation to describe the motion of material particles known as Schrodinger wave equation. This equation plays the same role in quantum mechanics as Newton’s second law does in classical mechanics. We can determine the motion of an atomic particle using Schrodinger equation as we determine the motion of a classical particle using Newton’s laws.
Summarize
In today’s lecture the gained knowledge on wavefunction, physical significance of wavefunction and the conditions the wavefunction must satisfies.
