A
2
Q
What are the limits on the solutions of the Schrodinger equation?
A
3
Q
What happens to the shape of the wave as kinetic energy decreases.
A
Node spacing and amplitude increase as particle is more likely to be found where moving slowly.
4
Q
What happens to the wave when it is in a classically forbidden region?
A
It decays exponentially
5
Q
How many antinodes does the n state wave function have?
A
n
6
Q
What does the correspondence principle state?
A
The quantum world blends into the classical world for high quantum numbers.
The probability from Psi squared is similar to the classical probability density
