Derive schrodinger equ. from

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on deriving the time-independent Schrödinger equation from the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. The key approach involves expressing the wavefunction Ψ as a product of a position-dependent term ψ(x) and a time-dependent term e^(-iEt/ħ). By substituting this form into the time-dependent equation, one can isolate the time-independent components, leading to the desired derivation.

Pls derive the time-independent Schrödinger equ from the time-dependent equ.?
Thanks!
Anyone has any sugestiond on how to approach this?
[tex]-\frac {\hbar^2} {2m} \frac {\partial^2 \psi(x,t)} {\partial (x)^2} + U\psi(x,t) =i\hbar\frac{\partial\psi(x,t)}{\partial (t)}[/tex]

Consider that a wavefunction Psi (big-Psi) can be written as a product of the position-dependent term psi (little-psi) and the time dependent term e^(-iEt/h-bar)

Plug this form into the time-dependent Schrödinger and then you can solve for time-independence (with the constant time-dependent term)
