i. In the given Schrödinger wave equation:<br /><br />$\nabla ^{2}\psi _{(x,y,z)}+\frac {8\pi ^{2}m}{h^{2}}(E-V)\psi _{(x,y,z)}=0$<br /><br />The terms are defined as follows:<br /><br />1. $\psi _{(x,y,z)}$: The wave function, which describes the quantum state of a particle in a potential field.<br /><br />2. $\nabla ^{2}$: The Laplacian operator, which represents the sum of the second partial derivatives with respect to the spatial coordinates (x, y, z).<br /><br />3. $m$: The mass of the particle.<br /><br />4. $h$: Planck's constant.<br /><br />5. $E$: The total energy of the particle.<br /><br />6. $V$: The potential energy experienced by the particle in the potential field.<br /><br />ii. The expression for the potential energy $V$ in the context of the hydrogen atom is given by:<br /><br />$V = -\frac{Ze^2}{r}$<br /><br />where:<br />- $Z$ is the atomic number (for hydrogen, $Z = 1$),<br />- $e$ is the elementary charge,<br />- $r$ is the distance between the electron and the nucleus.<br /><br />Substituting this expression for the potential energy into the Schrödinger wave equation, we get the Schrödinger wave equation for the hydrogen atom:<br /><br />$\nabla ^{2}\psi _{(x,y,z)}+\frac {8\pi ^{2}m}{h^{2}}(E + \frac{Ze^2}{r})\psi _{(x,y,z)}=0$
