Wave Function Theory

Wave Function Theory is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics that describes how particles like electrons behave. Instead of thinking of them as tiny balls, this theory uses a mathematical function called a wave function to represent the probabilities of finding a particle in specific locations or states. The wave function captures the particle's quantum state, including properties like energy and momentum, and its shape influences how the particle acts. Essentially, it provides a precise way to understand and predict the behavior of particles at microscopic scales, where classical physics no longer applies.
