abstract={The wave-particle duality for light has been well established by various experiments, such as Young¡¯s double slit experiment and the photoelectric effect. This led de Broglie to propose that a particle also has wave characteristics. Schr?dinger further established the wave equation for a moving particle. Many times, quantum mechanics textbooks do not show how Schr?dinger¡¯s equation was developed in an intuitive manner that is appropriate at the undergraduate level. This article presents a new approach for introducing Schr?dinger¡¯s equation. This new approach starts with Maxwell¡¯s equations and then applies the quantized energy of a light wave and special relativity. This more intuitive approach should help undergraduate students understand the origin of Schr?dinger¡¯s equation in a more natural way.},
