What is the Schrodinger equation, and how is it used?

Question

please help me

Answer 1

The Schrodinger equation is the basic differential equation of quantum physics. In essence, it describes conservation of energy, but using operators for kinetic energy and potential energy. Together, there is an operator (the Hamiltonian) for the total energy. The Schrodinger equation states that the wavefunction of a particle is an eigenfunction for that Hamiltonian operator and the eigenvalue is the observed energy of the particle.

The Schrodinger equation is used to model everything from how atoms bind together (producing chemistry) to getting energy levels for atoms to understanding the basics of nuclear chemistry. However, the Schrodinger equation is not a relativistic equation. Dirac modified it to take into account special relativity. In the process, he found a coherent way to deal with 'spin'.

Answer 2

Schrodinger Equation
The Schrodinger equation plays the role of Newton's laws and conservation of energy in classical mechanics - i.e., it predicts the future behavior of a dynamic system. It is a wave equation in terms of the wavefunction which predicts analytically and precisely the probability of events or outcome. The detailed outcome is not strictly determined, but given a large number of events, the Schrodinger equation will predict the distribution of results.

Answer 3

Schrödinger equation

noun
fundamental quantum mechanical equation: the fundamental equation of wave mechanics describing the behavior of one or more particles in a field of force moving with speeds much less than that of light
