1. LECTURE 16 THE SCHRÖDINGER EQUATION

2. GUESSING THE SE

3. the potential expression for kinetic energy kinetic plus potential energy gives the total energy

4. Global Phase  If solution of SE then gives the same physical predictions, i.e. same probabilities of measurements Relative phase:  and  don’t represent the same physical state

5. Coulomb potential of a proton Probability to find electron outside the box is zero

7. Remember our guitar string? We had the boundary condition that the ends of the string were fixed. Quantum mechanical version- the particle is confined by an infinite potential on either side. The boundary condition- the probability of finding the particle outside of the box is ZERO!
