    Graduate Schrodinger's Equation - Step Potential

    In the left side of the barrier, the potential energy V(x)= 0, while on the right side of the barrier, V(x) = V. Given that the total energy of the particle in such a system has a total energy E < V.. a. What are my acceptable solutions? On the left side: Should I include the cos kx...

    Graduate Deriving Schrodinger's Equation w/o Boundary Conditions

    Can Schrödinger's Equation be derived without a boundary condition? Particles according to quantum physics are only "partly localised", so does it mean that Schrödinger's equation can only be applied in a confined region of space? Also, from what I read from my textbook, Schrödinger's...

    Undergrad How Can a Secondary School Student Solve Schrödinger's Equation?

    Hi, I'm quite new to quantum physics, and I know that the Schrödinger's equation should be at the quantum physics section but I was wondering if anyone can guide me into the mathematical part of it. I'm only a secondary school student, and can do differentiation and integration. (definite...

    Graduate A question in solving schrodinger's equation

    Hi everyone; I have a question about the separation method in solving the wave equation: In fact when we assume the answer as a seperable function we just loose a subset of answers, because it is a RESTRICTION. Just tell me why this assumption is correct. Thanks a lot. somy :smile:

    Graduate Separating Schrodinger's Equation

    I'm looking for the mathematical demonstration that the Time Dependent Schrödinger Equation can be separated into time-independent Schrödinger equation and time evolution equation. Does anybody know a link which such demonstration?

    Schrodinger's Equation arguments

    There have been some arguments going on in my thread "Urgent!: Schrödinger's Equation" about how 7th graders(and other kids) like myself are unable to understand physics just because they are kids. I wanted to start a new thread, where we could just discuss this matter but I am afraid it may get...
