## Midterm

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

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

### Midterm

Will Schrodinger be on the midterm? If not then why is there a review session on it?

### Re: Midterm

I think if there's a review session including it, it's fair game for the midterm. But it won't be a calculation question, it would probably be a conceptual question.

What kind of general concepts should we understand in terms of shrodinger's equation? Are there any good examples in the textbook that might be useful?

Schrodingers Eqaution is an equation regarding wavelength.
ψ= wave function (orbital) representing e-
Represents the height of a wave at position x,y,z
ψ^2 represents the probability of finding an e-

I wouldnt be surprised if there was a question on the midterm regarding this relation to orbitals or wavelength.

There will be no calculations on the Schrodinger equation because it contains multivariable calculus that is beyond the scope of this course. Overall, we would have to understand its role in wavelength along with psi and psi^2. As mentioned above.
