Using the Schrodinger Equation

[Nicole Jakiel 4F]

Can anyone clarify when we would use the Schrodinger equation?

[Lauryn Shinno 2H]

I believe Professor Lavelle said that we just need to understand what it is, and problems where you would have to solve a Schrodinger Equation are too complicated for this course.

You would use the Schrödinger equation to find the allowed energy levels for quantum mechanical systems.

[RandallNeeDis3K]

You use the Schrodinger equation to find the allowed energy levels of quantum mechanical systems, like atoms. The wavefunction gives the probability of finding the particle at a certain position x. However, I do not think we are required to know exactly how it works for an exam/test
