The wavelength of the wave associated with
particle is motion is inversely proportional to its
corresponding momentum.
The quantum particle’s position and corresponding
momentum can not be measured simultaneously at
the same time
f ( x, y , z , t ) = ( x, y , z , t )
The wavefunction is a mathematical function , examples

system and boundary in which the system is enclosed

A quantum system described by ( x, y, z , t ) is very
important in quantum mechanics
( x, y , z , t )
• the wavefunction ( x, y, z, t )should be well behaved
• it has all the information about quantum particle’s
position and momentum
