Outline of Schrödinger equation for different levels

High school

  • A sketch of quantum mechanical phenomena such as the uncertainty principle, atomic energy levels and photons
  • Classical mechanics predicts the time dependence of properties like position, momentum and energy.
  • Quantum mechanics predicts the time evolution of probabilities.
  • Discuss discrete and continuous probabilities.
  • The double-slit experiment and wave-particle duality as an argument for describing particles with a wave function.

In the first equation after "THE HYDROGEN ATOM" should it be r^2 instead of r. For a learner like me it would be good to have the units of the parameters described eg I assume the units for epsi are Coulombs per cubic metre.
