Schroedinger's equation enables scientists to predict
A) the statistical pattern formed by impacts of large numbers of microscopic particles.
B) the matter wave for a microscopic particle.
C) Both of the above.
D) the exact path followed by a microscopic particle.
E) All of the above.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Schroedinger's equation is fundamental in quantum mechanics and is used to determine the wave function of a system, which can predict the statistical distribution of particles (A) and describe the matter wave of a particle (B). It does not predict exact paths (D).
