(a)True

(b)False

To satisfy the Schroëdinger's Equation, the wave much have all but which of the following properties?

(a)The wave must satisfy the deBroglie rule p = hk, where p is equal to momentum, h is Planck's constant (6.6X10-34 J-s), and k is the wave number, an entity somewhat related to the frequency of a wave.

(b)Any force present is taken into account by means of the potential energy, V, it produces.
