Abstract - Classical physics, which includes Maxwell's equations, a hundred years ago couldnt explain the stability of atoms, the periodic table of elements, the chemical bond, the discrete excitation energies of atoms and their energetic state, the ionization of atoms, the spectra, including its fine structure and transition rules, experimental evidence about x-ray spectra and the behavior of atoms in electric and magnetic fields, the properties of the matter in solid state. That was the reason why classical physics fails when applied to the atomic area, i.e. to the area of nanometers or below. Now the situation has changed. It's because within the framework of classical physics, with the help of Maxwell's equations, we can derive Schrdinger's equation, which is the foundation of quantum physics. With this new knowledge all of the above can now be explained within the framework of classical physics. This article describes the procedure for obtaining the equation, which replaces the Schrdinger's equation using classical physics.
I. INTRODUCTION
The whole twentieth century in physics is mostly passed in the search for answers to fundamental questions of matter, primarily on the relationship between waves and particles. Discussions about this are still going on. All the studies are based on unique natural laws that apply universally in the universe and the atom. But this general approach to the macroscopic and microscopic scale seemed questionable in the case of Maxwell's equations. In fact, Maxwell's equations have reached excellent results in the macroscopic scale. Their application in the microscopic scale at first glance seemed disappointed. Namely, Maxwell's equations previously couldnt explain the stability of atoms, the periodic table of elements, the chemical bond, the discrete excitation energies of atoms and their energetic state, the ionization of atoms, the spectra, including its fine structure and transition rules, experimental evidence about x-ray spectra and the behavior of atoms in electric and magnetic fields, the properties of the matter in solid state. That was the reason why classical physics fails when applied to the atomic area, i.e. to the area of nanometers or below. This is why the entire physics divided into two branches: (traditional) classical and (new) quantum physics.
Despite the uncertain physical meaning of the wave function at the famous Schrdinger's equation, 2+82m(E-U)/h2=0, the equation has played an important role in the development of quantum physics. The wave function (x,y,z)=(r) is the solution of the Schrdinger equation, i.e. it is a mathematical expression involving the coordinates (x, y, z) of a particle in space , where are unit ( r = x i , j and k i + yj + zk vectors; all vectors below are bold letters). If we solved the Schrdinger equation for a particle in a given system then, depending on the boundary condition, the solution is a set of allowed wave functions of the particle, each corresponding to an allowed energy level. The physical meaning of the wave function is that the square of its absolute value, ||2, at a given point is proportional to the probability of finding the particle in a small element of volume, dxdydz, at that point. For an electron in an atom, this gives the idea of atomic and molecular orbital. All of this was obtained without the use of Maxwell's equations. After the explanation of radiation [1, 2], Maxwell's equations can give a lot more contributions to quantum physics, than has been the case so far. It's because from Maxwell's equations we can derive Schrdinger's equation, which is the foundation of quantum physics. The meaning of physical quantities in Maxwell's equations is completely clear. Therefore, the meanings of the wave functions of these equations, which are derived from Maxwell's equations, are completely clear. This article describes how Schrdinger's equation is obtained using classical physics, with special emphasis on Maxwell's equations. With this equation all the previous disadvantages of Maxwell's equations can now be explained in the framework of classical physics.

2E g E 2E 2 = 0 . t t
where D is the electric displacement, E is the electric field strength, B is the magnetic flux density, H is the magnetic field strength, is the volume charge density, and J is the electric current density. The differential operator = i / x + j / y + k / z is called "del" operator. There are a total of 16 variables in (1a)-(1d) (the 15 components of the five vectors E, D, B, H, J, and the scalar ). If the source densities and J are given (four known variables) still remain 12 unknown variables. There are, however, eight equations; one from (1a), one from (1b), and three for components in (1c) and (1d) each. Obviously, to make system determinate we need additional relations. For a completely linear medium there are constitutive relations describing the properties of the media in which the fields exist: D = E, B = H, J = gE, where is dielectric constant, is the magnetic constant of proportionality, and g is the conductivity of the media. Hence [without writing (r,t) which is implied] the Maxwell equations become:

Using J = gE gives:

Using (2b), i.e. B = 0 , and B = H, and after sharing with , we get from (10):

Equations (6) and (11) are required wave equations. These two vector equations constitute six component equations with seven unknowns (Ex, Ey,

Electromagnetic energy of an LC circuit, Eem , theoretically can be presented as the electrical energy stored in a capacitor that has a capacitance (or equal to C and a maximum charge equal to Q C magnetic energy stored in a coil that has inductance equal to L and maximum current equal ), so: to I L

The kinetic energy of electrons in the atom is mc 2 K= mc 2 , (33) 2 1 and, using (32), noting that an electron is of opposite charge of the nucleus, the potential energy of electrons is

From a single equation, (41), we need to determine two unknown sizes, i.e., parameter C and . Therefore, we seek solutions with the variable Q C help of Diophantine equations, [14]:

VI. CONCLUSION
The article shows how Maxwell's equations adapted to the use in the nanometer range. The resulting equations are similar at the end of Schrdingers equation, which was expected. Given the great success of the application of Schrdingers equation, it is also a confirmation of the success of Maxwell's equations. The advantage of Maxwell's equations is that they are part of a comprehensive theory, while Schrdingers equation is only one isolated part adapted to the atomic scale. Hence the resulting difficulty in interpreting the meaning of the wave function in the Schrdingers equation. Such difficulties in Maxwells theory, of course, do not exist. Therefore it seems appropriate to use Maxwell's equations in the nanometer range, in which up to now exclusively used Schrdingers equations.
