  3. Erwin Rudolf Josef Alexander Schrödinger Born: 12 Aug 1887 in Erdberg, Vienna, AustriaDied: 4 Jan 1961 in Vienna, Austria Nobel Prize in Physics 1933 "for the discovery of new productive forms of atomic theory"

  4. Time Dependent Wave Equation!

  5. Time Independent

  6. Spherical Coordinates f r q

  7. Three Part Solution

  8. Energy of the electron Energy is related to the Principle Quantum number, n. This gives 3 of the 4 quantum numbers, the last one is the spin quantum number, s, either +½ or – ½.
