This equation can be simplified into different forms.īy separating E and V from the above equation, we get the famous form of the Schrodinger wave equation. The above equation is the time-independent Schrodinger wave equation along the x-axis in a one-dimensional box. Putting value of 1 / λ 2 in equation (iv), we get In order to find out the value of λ 2, the sum of kinetic and potential energy is required. This equation is called the wave equation. Putting equations (ii) and (iii) back in equation (i), we get Now differentiate eq (i) with respect to ‘t’, we get
