Schrödinger equation

Schrödinger equation is a prominent equation in quantum mechanics. This equation is used to predict the behavior of quantum states or quantum particles. In quantum mechanics, the particles are treated as waves. A quantity called wave function is used to represent a quantum state. The wave function completely describes the quantum system. This equation can be used to study the particles like electrons, protons and, neutrons. It is also used to study the structure of hydrogen atoms and harmonic oscillators.

Consider an object of mass 11.1 kg. Now imagine taking all the protons out of the object and stuffing them into a box. Also take all the electrons out of the object and stuff them in a second box. You initially put the boxes of protons and electrons 39 m apart. Now you want to take the two boxes and move them farther apart, to a new distance of 70 m apart. How much work (that is, energy) would you have to expend to pull the boxes that much farther apart, fighting against the electrostatic attraction between them? 1.45E+25 J 2.89E+25 J 5.78E+25 J 1.16E+26 J
