Learning Outcomes
1.It can be explained why is necessary of the quantum mechanics and should be difference between quantum and classic physics
2.To solve problems which is related to the motion of micro particles under various simple potential and can say meaning of its
3.Students can use the knowledge of quantum mechanics to explain some properties of atom and molecules
4.The concepts of quantum mechanics such as discrete, uncertainty, instability and expectation value should be explained by using examples
5.The relationship between the motion and properties of many body systems can be threaded and simple problems with related to this topic should be solved
6.The fundamental postulates of quantum mechanics should be explained
7.The properties of Schrödinger Wave Equation must be told
8.The approximate solution should be suggested to exactly unsolved problems
