C) Born
D) Schrödinger
E) de Broglie

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fundamental equation of quantum mechanics is known as the Schrödinger equation, named after Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger, who developed it in 1926. The equation describes how the wave function of a physical system changes over time, providing a framework for understanding the behavior of matter and energy on the atomic and subatomic scale. The other options (A) Heisenberg, (B) Bohr, (C) Born, and (E) de Broglie, are all important figures in the development of quantum mechanics, but they did not formulate the fundamental equation.
