Lecture Note 1

The document discusses the Schrodinger wave equation and how it can describe particles as localized wave packets with both light and matter properties. It also covers the probability and normalization of finding a particle between two points on the x axis based on the wave function.

The Schrodinger wave equation

Particles have both light and matter properties, and can be described as a localized wave
packet.
Normalization and Probability

◼ The probability P(x) dx of a particle being between x and X + dx was


given in the equation

◼ The probability of the particle being between x1 and x2 is given by

◼ The wave function must also be normalized so that the probability of


the particle being somewhere on the x axis is 1.
