What evidence did Erwin Schrodinger have to support is theory?

Answer 1

When Schrodinger applied his mathematical formulae to the permitted states of an electron in a hydrogen atom, he found they perfectly matched the Bohr Model, which had perfectly predicted hydrogen spectral lines. For Schrondinger, that was good enough for him to publish his work. Max Born later showed that the Schrodinger Equation could be used to accurately predict particle scattering from a nucleus. However, Born showed that this would only work if one assumes that the cross-product of Schrodinger's Wave Function represents the probability of a point charge being in a specific place; something that Schrodinger never accepted.

Answer 2

Erwin Schrödinger developed his theory of wave mechanics to explain the behavior of electrons in atoms. His theory was supported by the successful explanation of the spectrum of hydrogen atoms and the ability to calculate various properties of atoms based on the wave function. Additionally, experimental evidence, such as diffraction patterns of electrons, provided support for his wave-particle duality concept.
