Erwin Schrodinger is a renowned Austrian physicist who contributed to the wave theory of matter, and to other fundamentals of quantum mechanics, which formed the basis of wave mechanics. He formulated the wave equation.
He was born on 12th August 1887 in Austria. Schrodinger proposed an original interpretation of the physical meaning of the wave function. The Schrodinger equation, which he formulated to describe the quantum state of a system, is his biggest achievement.
In Niels Bohr’s theory of the atom, electrons absorb and emit radiation of fixed wavelengths when jumping between fixed orbits around a nucleus.
In 1926, Erwin Schrodinger formulated a wave equation that accurately calculated the energy levels of electrons in atoms.
Schrodinger died on 4th January, 1961.
