Solving the Schrödinger EquationSolving the Schrödinger Equation
If a second order differential equation has two independent solutions ψ1(x) and ψ2(x), then a general p ψ1( ) ψ2( ) gsolution of the equation can be written as
where A and B are constants whose values are determined by the boundary conditions.

There is a more general form of the Schrodinger equation which includes time dependence and x,y,z coordinates;
We will limit discussion to 1‐D solutions
Must know U(x), the potential energy function the particle experiences as it moves.
Objective is to solve for (x) and the total energy E=KE + U of the particle.
In ‘bound state’ problems where the particle is trapped (localized in space)In bound state problems where the particle is trapped (localized in space), the energies will be found to be quantized upon solving the Schrodinger equation.
In ‘unbound states’ where the particle is not trapped, the particle will travel as a traveling wave with an amplitude given by (x)

A Particle in a Rigid BoxA Particle in a Rigid Box
Consider a particle of mass m confined in a rigid, one‐dimensional box. The boundaries of the box are at x = 0 and x = L.
1. The particle can move freely between 0 and L at constant speed and thus with constant kineticconstant speed and thus with constant kinetic energy.
2. No matter how much kinetic energy the particle has, its turning points are at x = 0 and x = L.
3. The regions x < 0 and x > L are forbidden. The particle cannot leave the boxcannot leave the box.
A potential‐energy function that describes the particle in this situation is
