Applications of the Schrodinger Wave Equation The free particle
... The problem in this case is that the wavefunction is not normalizable, so it’s not a true wavefunction . It can be used to make true wavefunctions by superposition. The probability of finding the particle = Independent of position so the particle is equally likely to be anywhere. In the case of the ...

Particle physics, from Rutherford to the LHC
... Theoretical and experimental barriers After the initial successes of quantum mechanics, there remained two obvious frontiers for fundamental physics. One was the extension of quantum mechanics to relativistic phenomena. Paul Dirac’s approach was to generalize the Schrödinger wave equation to a relat ...

a) Yes. b) No.
... Two charged particles of opposite charge are placed in a uniform, rightward, external electric field and released from rest. Assuming no forces act on the particles other than the electrostatic force, is it possible for the particles to accelerate away from each other? a) No. Unlike charges attract ...
