In previous papers we have presented a wave model for conservative bound systems resulted from the equivalency between the Schrödinger and wave equations. We proved that the normal curves of the characteristic surface of the wave equation, denoted by C curves, are solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation, written for the same system, and correspond to the same constants of motion as those resulting from the Schrödinger equation. In this paper we present a method for computing the energetic values of conservative bound systems which is based on the properties of the C curves. The method is applied to the state of helium, and states of lithium and state of beryllium. Our theoretical values are compared with experimental data taken from well-known books. The relative error of our method is less than .
