7 Terms

1
New cards

transverse waves

oscillate in a direction perpendicular to its direction of motion

2
New cards

standing wave

bound on either side, cannot extend to infinity

  • do not carry energy from one location to another


3
New cards

nodes

points on a standing wave where oscillation amplitude is zero, not including endpoints

4
New cards

heisenberg uncertainty principle

one cannot know precisely both the position and momentum of a icrosscopic particle at the same time

5
New cards

classical particle in a box

  • equally likely to be found at any point in the box


6
New cards

energy quantization

energy of the particle in a box can only have certain specific values

7
New cards

zero-point energy

energy at ground state
