Most of us we know about quantum mechanics. Also I previously done a blog post on the same topic . let's get into to this topic in more advance
1). Schrödinger time dependent one dimensional wave equation
On the early days of birth of physics the greatest physicist of all time sir Isaac Newton . Famous for his discovery of universal gravitational force and. Laws of motion. When he started thinking about light. . wait he first started optics . He first invent the reflective telescope or mirror telescope. That is use in Hubble using same principle .
He first suggest that white light consist of 7 colour .. and we all know about his famous disc experiment
When the above disc is in circular motion. It's colour turns out to be white..
3).speed of light is Firster in denser medium.
But it's turned out to wrong.
Speed of light is decreases with denser medium. And maximum at vacuum .
So newton idea not accepted.
We all know young for his famous double slit experiment. He suggested that light is a wave He experimental show us that. Light do interference. Polarisation . diffraction . This theory describe almost every nature of light at that time. And Maxwell suggested that light is an electromagnetic wave. Which describe those properties of light .
But it can't describe the black body radiation . photo electric effect. Etc.
According to max Planck light is consist of quanta .it is discontinues . I.e when he studied black body radiation this assumption holds good and describe the black body radiation at different temperatures perfectly
Energy
E=nhf. Where n=number of quanta
h=Planck constant
f=frequency
The above picture. Visualize the Planck theory of light here the energy is discontinues and also have some definite frequency. They are continues like current it seems to be and discontinues like electron inside the wire. But it's seems to be not true at all because at time of interference it seems to be spread over space. . and it's energy depends upon number of frequency only. As
E=hf
This relation fully proofed both mathematically and experimentally. Who doesn't know about an atomic bombs use the same theory to convert mass into energy. In his general theory of relativity Einstein suggested that light is bended by gravity and amazingly it's turned out true after experimental verification.
For calculating the bending of light in gravity Einstein use his photon theory of light . according to this theory light have dual nature praticle and wave. And energy of a single photon is given by Einstein mass energy relation
E=pc=mc2
Here m=mass of photon
P=momentum
E=energy
Einstein doesn't think about how they are related but he just give a overall idea . How light is a praticle. And this assumption make Einstein GTR possible to calculate how much light bend by gravity.
Famous equation
T=h(f-ft)
Here T= kinatic energy of electron
h=Planck constant
f=frequency
ft=threshold frequency
This is not described by wave nature of light .
So light have dual nature praticle and wave.
If I say it simply everything in the universe having position and momentum called praticle .
Like ball,chair, planet etc.
i). Praticle have property of inertia
ii). praticle have position while wave spread over space
iii). praticle have energy E=mc2
iv).they interact with other praticle positively while wave do interference .
I read about de-brogley biography. I found something I want to share something with you
De-brogley claimed that if light have dual nature then praticle must have.
Wavelength=h/mv
When we look at on paper of PhD . It is written that
"I doesn't know how the praticle are wave or light have praticle effect. Because energy some how related to both in same way mc2 for wave and mc2 for praticle. How the same relationship holds good for both . They must have same property. I.e dual object have both wave and praticle nature .
Because praticle are waves they must at different place at same time . I.e like on sea there is not a single wave on a point they are all the in sea . If we consider they are praticle wave how do we say exactly where they are . Because they are everywhere wave.
/\x/\p>=h/2pi
This make very difficult to describe the dynamic of system because we can't have exact position and momentum. .
After this discovery Schrödinger suggested a probability frame work to describe the quantum object.
His interpretation on this is so simple
It's spread over space just like vector field
And energy must be conserved
Putting this condition.
He discovered
The above picture tells us we doesn't have exact position we have bunch of point and darkness represent for probability.
