## Application of Shrodinger'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 Shrodinger's Equation

Hey everyone,
Can someone give an example of when we would use Shrodinger's equation? I understand the conceptual information regarding it, but have we seen an example of a problem where we have to calculate wavefunction?
Thanks!

i think we just have to understand it conceptually, not actually use it.

Yeah I'm pretty sure we only have to understand it conceptually as it is a pretty high level quantum physics equation with calculus.

I'm having a little trouble understanding it conceptually, is it calculating the total energy of all electron in an atom? Or just one?
