If you haven’t read Part 1, please read it here If you haven’t read Part 2, please read it here We can now introduce the Schrodinger equation in its full form. As mentioned, infinite square wells do not really represent a true physical object. Physics would have a more realistic potential energy function dependent onContinue reading “Uncovering the Schrodinger Equation [Part 3]”

Uncovering the Schrodinger Equation [Part 2]
If you haven’t read Part 1, you should read it here before proceeding. Infinite Square Well In the first chapter of any quantum mechanics textbook, one would usually encounter something called the infinite square well. Basically, it is a function that describes the potential energy of any particle at location x, and in a certainContinue reading “Uncovering the Schrodinger Equation [Part 2]”
Uncovering the Schrodinger Equation [Part 1]
In the start of any chemistry class, we’re usually shown a set of weird-looking shapes called atomic orbitals. We are given a set of rules to describe them with quantum numbers n, l, m: the quantum number n is the principal quantum number that describes how much energy it has, l determines the angular momentumContinue reading “Uncovering the Schrodinger Equation [Part 1]”
How many numbers are there? (Part 2)
If you haven’t read Part 1, please read it here. Planes and Spaces Anyone who has taken a class from the levels of algebra to vector calculus would be familiar with the concept of the 2D xy-plane or the 3D xyz-space. A point on the xy-plane would be represented as (x,y) where x,y ∈ R.Continue reading “How many numbers are there? (Part 2)”
