## Schrodinger Equation

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

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

### Schrodinger Equation

I was just wondering if anyone had an example of a word problem where the Schrodinger equation would be used. I'm having trouble understanding its application to current questions we have been approaching.

### Re: Schrodinger Equation

I had a similar question as well. It is confusing how Planck's constant may be introduced into this equation as I have seen before yet it is not within the original equation

### Re: Schrodinger Equation

I've been wondering the same. How would we compute the variables, which variables would be given, and where would we see this equation being used and what for?

### Re: Schrodinger Equation

I feel that the actual math operations behind Shrodinger's equation are well beyond the scope of a general chem class. I think we should focus on the conceptual idea behind what the equation stands for including that electrons can be described by a wave function which then describes electron orbitals.

### Re: Schrodinger Equation

Hey if anyone can explain this equation to me, it would be super helpful. I am completely and utterly lost whenever i see this equation on anything. It not like there is a pice i dont understand its the whole thing.

### Re: Schrodinger Equation

I noticed that there are two different constants, why and when would we use both of them.
