Lecture 21 - Quantum Mechanics III << previous session | next session >>

Overview:

The fact that the wave function provides the complete description of a particle's location and momentum is emphasized. Measurement collapses the wave function into a spike located at the measured value. The quantization of momentum for a particle on a ring is deduced.
