Introduction to the simulation ``schrdgr''

Try moving the Energy slider at the top, and see the wave-function change! This is the quantum-mechanical wave function for an electron in a potential, with definite energy given by the slider value. In this lab, we will be finding solutions of definite energy which satisfy the correct boundary conditions on the right. We'll do this for three different potentials: the infinite square well, the square-shelf potential, and the Coulomb potential for the hydrogen atom.

Shown are the three forms of V(x) we will study in this computer lab.
