  10. Schrödinger's equation, what is it ? Newton's law allows you to describe motion of mechanical systems and mathematically predict the outcome of the system. In quantum mechanics, the analogue of Newton's law is Schrödinger's equation for a quantum system (usually atoms, molecules, and subatomic particles whether free, bound, or localized). It is a wave equation in terms of the wavefunction which predicts analytically and precisely the probability of events or outcome. The Schrodinger equation gives the quantized energies of the system and gives the form of the wavefunction so that other properties may be calculated. atomic structure notes 10
  11. The wave equation developed by Erwin Schrodinger in 13 at About the Wavefunction 1926 h2 3 2 2 2m 13 x The wavefunction is assumed to be a single-valued function of position and time, which is sufficient to get a value of probability of finding the particle at a particular position and time. The wavefunction is a complex function, since it is its product with its complex conjugate which specifies the real physical probability of finding the particle in a particular state. single-valued probability amplitude at (x, t) proba il- of finding particle at at time t atomi' rUCU notes prow e t e wavefunction is normalized.

  13. WAVEFUNCTION (W) (PSI) 1. A wavefunction is a mathematical function (like sinx, ex). Like any mathematical function it can have large value at some place, small in other and zero elsewhere. It can be real or complex 2. A wavefunction contains all information about the system 3. The wavefunction is a function of Cartesian coordinate and time. ie. NJ (x/ Y/ z, t) 4. If the wavefunction is large at a point in space, the particle has a large probability at that point 5. The more rapidly a wavefunction changes from place to place, higher the K.E. of the particle it describes atomic structure notes 13
  14. WAVEFUNCTION (W) (PSI) A wavefunction describes the state of a system How? The state of a system is described by some measurable quantities such as mass, volume, momentum, position, Energy etc. These quantities are called observables How to determine the observables from wavefunction (W) By performing a set of well defined mathematically operations on W. These mathematical operations are called operators atomic structure notes 14
  15. Born interpretation The state of a system (particle) is completely specified by its avefunction W which is a probability amplitude an has the significance that (more generally IW12dV since W may be complex) represents the probability that the particle is located in the infinitesimal element of volume dV about the given point/ at time t. atomic structure notes 15
  16. NORMALIZATION As per Born interpretation, the probability of existence of the particle in the entire space should be 1. In mathematical term the wave function has to be normalized For one dimension N V dx=l Where N is the normalization constant atomic ti ct 1 e not
  17. In 1913 Niels Bohr came up with a new atomic model in which electrons are restricted to certain energy levels. Schrödinger applied his equation to the hydrogen atom and found that his solutions exactly reproduced the energy levels stipulated by Bohr. The result was amazing and one of the first major achievement of Schrödinger's equation and earned him the 1933 Nobel Prize in physics.

  20. How to proceed urther? 'Let us test the Schrödinger equation for some simple physical systems! Some model systems at first — easy to test ! Hopefully, some quantum properties of matter will also be understood! 'If we can understand these 'simple systems' without doing any approximation and can derive 'exact solutions'/ then we shall proceed towards our major target — atoms and molecules 'Why we do not go right now to solve the Schrödinger equation for atoms and molecules? Because the mathematical solution for atoms and moleCUIes is complicated. atomic structure notes 20
  21. Characteristics of the wavefunctions 1. Wavelength = 2L/n 2. There are n-l nodes (interior points where the wave function passes through zero) in the wavefunction 3. The energy increases with increasing number of nodes. The ground state has no nodes. . The ground state energy is not 0/ but h2/8mL21 the zero point energy. This is a consequence of the uncertainty principle. atomic structure notes 21

  26. where R n I(r) is called the radial part of and YI m (0/+) its angular part. The wavefunction of the electron in the hydrogenic atom is called an atomic orbital. An orbital is a one- electron wavefunction. Electron described by a particular wavefunction is said to occupy that orbital. Atomic orbitals specified by three quantum numbers n, I/ and ml.
