Review of Classical Wave

Schrodinger’s Wave Equation
• The various experimental results involving electromagnetic waves and
particles, which could not be explained by classical laws of physics, showed
that a revised formulation of mechanics was required.
• Erwin Schrodinger (1926), provided a formulation, called wave mechanics,
which incorporated the principles of quanta introduced by Planck, and the
wave-particle duality principle introduced by de Broglie.
• Based on the wave-particle duality principle. we will describe the motion of
electrons in a solid or nanostructure by wave theory. This wave theory is
described by Schrodinger's wave equation.
