1 By: Will Gaul and Stevie Taylor
Erwin Schrodinger and Max Born and wavelength mechanics and quantum mechanics By: Will Gaul and Stevie Taylor

2 Biography August 12, 1887 – January 4, 1961 Austria and Germany
Worked at University of Zurich, Friedrich Wilhelm University, and University of Oxford Max Wien, Max Planck, Albert Einstein

3 Erwin Schrodinger and wavelength mechanics
In 1926 he determined that a particle or an atom would vibrate in circles with activity The atom contained, “Waves of Chance” When an electron passed through the nucleus these waves would ripple back and forth They would ripple in a straight line when particles moved through space inside an atom

4 Erwin Schrodinger and wavelength mechanics

5 Erwin Schrodinger and wavelength mechanics
proposed an original interpretation of the physical meaning of the wave function and in subsequent years repeatedly criticized the conventional Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics

6 Erwin Schrodinger and wavelength mechanics

7 Quantum Theory theoretical framework for constructing quantum mechanical models of subatomic particles in a particle physics and quasi-particles in condensed matter physics, by treating a particle as an excited state of an underlying physical field.

8 Copenhagen Interpretation
an interpretation of quantum mechanics developed by Niels Bohr and his colleagues at the University of Copenhagen, based on the concept of wave-particle duality and the idea that the observation influences the results of an experiment

9 Probability Density Function
Describes a cloud-like region where the electron is likely to be found.  It can not say with any certainty, where the electron actually is at any point in time, yet can describe where it ought to be Known as probability cloud

10 Electric Motion Involves the Quantum Mechanical motion of rigid particles about some other mass, or about themselves. Orbital motion is characterized by orbital angular momentum and spin
