Best Answer

The Wave function (psi) is just used as an identifier that the particle exhibits wave nature. Actually the square of the wave fn (psi2 ) - the probability amplitude- is the real significant parameter.

The probability amplitude gives the maximum probability of observing the particle in a given region in space.

For general waves...probably d'Alembert, who solved the one-dimensional wave equation. In quantum it would have to be Schrodinger.


What is the limitation of Schrodinger equations and how spherical polar coordination should solve the problem?

the schrodinger wave equation was not able to solve the energy associated with multi-electron atoms. as the no. of electron increases the dimentions also increased hence the problem was solved by spherical polar coordinates .

What did the model of the atom proposed by Erwin Schrodinger suggest?

Schrodinger is the author of the well known equation; this equation can describe an atom. That there was a great deal of uncertainty as to where things were and that waves were as important as particles.
