In this video, we shall solve the Schrodinger equation for an electron orbiting around a positive charged motionless proton, that of the problem of a hydrogen atom. We shall derive the explicit form of the electron wavefunction, or the so-called atomic orbitals, and will also visualize the shapes of these orbitals. We shall also obtain their discrete energy levels, and discuss how the transitions between these discrete levels give rise to the emission spectra as described by the Rydberg formula.
