Wavefunction ✅whats this symbol represent?
Every possible physical state of a system is represented in its wavefunction ✅What is the first postulate
of Quantum mechanics (QM)?
single-valued, continuous, bounded and differentiable, and square integral (in most cases) ✅A
wavefunction must be 4 things to be valid. They are . . .
integral, complex conjugate ✅The probability of finding a particle in a given region is found by taking
the _________ of the wavefunction multiplied by the __________ ___________ over the specified
region
the integral of (wavefunction)*(complex conj) equals 1 ✅A wavefunction is normalized when . . . .
orthonormal ✅If a set of wavefunctions are a solution to the TISE for a given system, they must be
For all observable physics, there exists an operator ✅What is the second postulate of QM?
a mathematical operation indicated by a variable with a 'hat' ✅What is an operator
Each operator has an eigen value (constant multiplier) for a specific wavefunction ✅What is the third
postulate of QM?
Hermitian ✅operators that yield real eigen values are called ___________
two observables that are measured simultaneously have a lower limit on accuracy ✅The Heisenberg
Uncertainty principle limits operators. How?
