schrodinger equation doubt
chat, whats the correct equation for schrodinger wave equation, i heard it had "i" in it too that schrodinger didnt understand, but the equation i have seen dosent have it, it just d^2 (psi)/dx^2 type thing going for all the polar coords.

+solved @user1 @user2... to close the thread when your doubt is solved. Mention the users who helped you solve the doubt. This will be added to their stats.Bro wdym correct they all are correct there are variations of the equations for different conditions
Relativistic non relativistic all are correct
ohh, can u explain more or suggest a video on it??
i am pretty this is not in syllabus but if want to know out of curiosity iirc veritasium made a video on it
oki oki
you can watch veritasium's imaginary numbers video, it's his best one imo
but for this eqn specifically, i would highly highly recommend this one

Huge thanks to Grant Sanderson for a quick manim crash course - I used manim ...
one of the best sci related videos i have ever seen

These what you talking about?
So, the actual Schrödinger wave equation is the one with the time derivative and the i. The second one is called the time independent wave equation, and they serve different purposes basically.
The time independent version will tell you, given the energy of the state, the possible states in which the particle may be in, at a point in time, but throughout space.
The time dependent one, given the momentary solution (ie, solution to time independent equation), will let you know how the wave function will evolve with time, and how the states of the particle will change.
I'm no expert, but this is just a summary of what I've understood
