Introduction • In quantum mechanics, the wave function of a system gives the description of that system. We apply Schrodinger's wave equation to a system and then solve it to find the wave function of the system. • We shall study how Schrodinger's time independent wave equation can be applied to a system and then solved to find the energy and wave function of the system under given conditions. • We also aim at learning characteristic properties of solutions of this equation and comparing the predictions of quantum mechanics with those of Newtonian mechanics. • As simple applications of Schrodinger's time independent wave equation, here we shall discuss the problems of: - Harmonic oscillator - Barrier penetration and Quantum tunneling - Finite potential wells
