## Application of Schrodinger's Equation

$H_{\psi }=E_{\psi }$

1-D: $E_{TOTAL}\psi (x)=E_{k}\psi (x)+V(x)\psi(x)=-\frac{h^{2}}{8\pi ^{2}m}\frac{d^{2}\psi(x)}{dx^{2}}+V(x)\psi(x)$

### Application of Schrodinger's Equation

What exactly do we use Schrodinger's Equation for? I understand we don't need the actual equation on the test, but what is its purpose when learning about wave properties? I didn't really understand the concept

### Re: Application of Schrodinger's Equation

If I remember correctly, Schrodinger's equation is a wave equation that precisely predicts the probability of behavior of a system.

### Re: Application of Schrodinger's Equation

If we get asked any questions regarding Schrodinger's equation on the test, I believe they will be purely conceptual since Lavelle didn't cover any examples and said not to worry about its actual application. As long as you understand what the equation represents, you should be fine.
