Examination of the Amplitude Equation to the Characteristics of Harmonic Oscillators: The Concept of Schrodinger Wave Equation
Abstract: Although Heisenberg’s matrix mechanics was developed first, the Schrödinger equation was the first useful quantum wave equation. However, the Schrödinger equation is applicable only to non-relativistic cases. As opposed to classical physics, where the wave equation can be derived from first principles, in quantum physics the wave equation is obtained by a plausibility argument based on classical physics and the de Broglie hypotheses. Inserting the de Broglie relations. A frequently …
