41.4 The Schrodinger Equation
Since matter has wave properties, it can be described by
a wave equation. But what is "waving?"
We describe a particle with a probability distribution,
Ψ(x) ("psi") with wave equation:
(probability
that it's
somewhere
is 100%)
Ψ² is the probability of finding the particle at a particular
place
