Jean le Rond d'Alembert, Leonhard Euler, Daniel Bernoulli, Joseph-Louis Lagrange, and the quantum wave function: Erwin Schrödinger.
Two models were developed to explain what light is, the photon model, which depicts light as a particle, and the wave model. In the field of quantum mechanics it is now recognized that light is both a particle and a wave (sometimes called a wavicle).
A wave equation is an equation that repeats y-values infinately creating a wave like pattern, a good example is the sine wave: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sine_wave
equation is a double differential relate to the energy of particle with wave function
The official definition for the word wave function is "a function that satisfies a wave equation and describes the properties of a wave."
wave speed= wave length * frequencyv=fa
It is also called wave mechanics because quantum mechanics governed by Schrodinger's wave equation in it's wave-formulation.
The current picture of the hydrogen atom is based on the atomic orbitals of wave mechanics which Erwin Schrodinger developed in 1926. This model is based on the Schrodinger Equation.
For general waves...probably d'Alembert, who solved the one-dimensional wave equation. In quantum it would have to be Schrodinger.

Boundary conditions allow to determine constants involved in the equation. They are basically the same thing as initial conditions in Newton's mechanics (actually they are initial conditions).
