ABSTRACT

Time-independent and time-dependent forms of Schrodinger equations are presented in one and three dimensions along with their interpretations. Also, the time-independent version is shown to follow from the time-dependent version. For better conceptualization of wave motion, the general equation of wave motion is discussed and solved, explaining the physical significance of variables involved. Born interpretation of the wave function as a measure of the probability of finding the particle in a region of space at a given instant is described. The requirements to be fulfilled by the wave function for representing a physical world system are outlined.
