The nature of the waves associated to particles
Waves associated to particles--> matter-waves
matter-waves characterized by their amplitude, called wave-function: ?
Intensity of the wave ~ ?2
What is oscillating? Intensity of what varies?
Intensity of matter waves represents the likelihood or probability of finding an electron at that location and time
new view of physics --> quantum mechanics
new rules and equations which describe the dynamics of the matter waves
fundamental equation: Schrodinger’s wave equation --> gives ?
Schrodinger’s equation a very complicated second-order differential equation, can be solved analytically only in some simple case (Solving Schrodinger’s equation = finding ?
knowledge of ? provides all possible information about atomic particles
