Schrödinger's equation may be developed from the timeindependent HamiltonJacobi equation, which simply expresses the conservation of energy. This procedure leads to a condition for the equivalence of the two equations and shows the possibility that wave mechanics can be deterministic.

Keywords: Schrödinger's equation, HamiltonJacobi equation, Bohr's hydrogen atom, de Broglie's second solution, spherical symmetry, causality
