Question

Schrodinger's wave equation for a moving particle contains :​

Answer 1

The mass of a free particle is not included in the Schrodinger equation. It consists solely of the sum of kinetic and potential energy. The rest mass energy is not included in this calculation.

What does the Schrodinger wave equation calculate?

• The Schrödinger equation contains two 'forms,' one of which clearly mentions time and so defines how a particle's wave function would evolve over time. The wave function is commonly referred to as the time dependent Schrödinger wave equation since it acts like a wave in general.

• The Schrodinger equation describes the shape of the wave functions or probability waves that influence the motion of some smaller particles in great detail. The equation also describes how external influences affect these waves.
