Wave Function | MCQs

Explanation

Explanation

 in every instant of time, the wavelength associated with a freely falling body decreases.

This is because the de Broglie wavelength 

λ of a particle is inversely proportional to its momentum:

(𝜆=ℎ/𝑝 ).

where:

• $h$ is Planck's constant,
• $p$ is the momentum of the particle.

Explanation

The dual character of matter particles in motion was postulated by De Broglie. 

Louis de Broglie proposed the idea that particles like electrons could behave not only as particles but also as waves, a concept known as wave-particle duality

Explanation

In quantum mechanics, the wave function $psi(x, t)$ describes the quantum state of a particle.

The probability density of finding the particle at a particular position in space is given by:

$$P(x) = |psi(x, t)|^2$$

This means:

• The square of the magnitude (or absolute value) of the wave function gives the probability per unit length (or volume) of finding the particle in that region.

• This principle is known as the Born interpretation.
