Question

A moving body is described by its wave function  at a certain time and place.The value of  is proportional to the body's
A)electric field. 
B)speed. 
C)energy. 
D)probability of being found.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The wave function describes the probability of finding a particle at a given position, so the value of |ψ|^2 is proportional to the probability of finding the particle. Therefore, choice D is the best option.
