prove Schrodinger's equation.
Answers
Schrodinger's equation cannot be derived. It was thought up using logical arguments and so far it has seemed to work experimentally.
The equations is essentially a re-write up for energy conservation:
E=T+V
Where T is the Kinetic Energy and V is the potential. However, to be more explicit we must work with operators (if you are unsure what operators are I suggest you look them up; this will give you a better understanding of what's going on).
The KE for a particle is given by the KE Operator:
T^=−ℏ22m∂2∂x2
.
This comes from the momentum operator of the particle/wave p^=−ih∂/∂x. You use this in the analogous classical mechanics equation for KE to obtain T^ (Try doing this as an exercise).
So now we are left with just putting it all together. The first equation turns into:
−ℏ22m∂2Ψ∂x2+V(x)Ψ=EΨ
And we define the Hamiltonian H^ as:
H^=−ℏ22m∂2∂x2+V(x)
Thus:
H^Ψ=EΨ

Explanation:
Schrodinger Wave Equation Derivation (Time-Dependent) Where 'V' is the potential energy and 'T' is the kinetic energy. As we already know that 'H' is the total energy, we can rewrite the equation as: Now taking the derivatives, ... Now combining the right parts, we can get the Schrodinger Wave Equation.
