Schrodinger's Wave Function
Are we expected to apply Schrodinger's wave function equation for the test? If so, under what scenarios?

Re: Schrodinger's Wave Function
Just know what the wave function is for, and the generals about it! No calculations (that is very difficult math :)

Re: Schrodinger's Wave Function
No, Professor Lavelle explained in class that applying Schrodinger's wave function equation involves pretty advanced, complicated math. I think we just need to understand the wave function conceptually.

Re: Schrodinger's Wave Function
What does Schrodinger's Wave Function tell you conceptually? Does it mathematically tell you how a wave function persists over time?
Re: Schrodinger's Wave Function
You need to understand the conceptual implications of the equation, specifically regarding wave functions and orbitals. You don't need to know calculations.

Re: Schrodinger's Wave Function
what concept do we need to take away from Schrodinger's Wave Function?
Re: Schrodinger's Wave Function
No you do not need to calculations of the equation as it is advanced math, but know the conceptual implications of the equation regarding orbitals and wave functions

Re: Schrodinger's Wave Function
Just know the concepts behind the equation, but no calculation will be on the test. we are not expected to know how to do that.

Re: Schrodinger's Wave Function
Will we have to memorize it or will it be given on the front sheet of the exam?
