The document derives the time-independent Schrodinger wave equation. It begins by separating the wave function ψ into a spatial component ψ(x,y,z) and temporal component g(t). Substituting this into the general wave equation allows separating variables, resulting in ψ(x,y,z) satisfying -ħ2/2m∇2ψ + Vψ = Eψ, where H is the Hamiltonian operator. This eigenvalue equation describes the energy levels of quantum mechanical systems.
