A wavefunction is a representation of the state of a quantum
system. A quantum state is a vector belonging in an abstract space
(the Hilbert space), while a wavefunction is a complex function
given in terms of a Hermitian variable (usually position or
momentum). When "wavefunction" is used unqualified (as opposed to
"wavefunction in momentum space"), it is taken to mean the
wavefunction in terms of position. In case of single-particle
systems, the modulus squared of the wavefunction at a given
position represents the probability density of the particle to be
at that position.

We would need to know what wavefunction to respond to this
question.
One of many, many possibilities would simply be y = sin x.

Partial of it does. I think your question is leaning towards
wavefunction. It is pretty hard to get but with study you will
eventually get it. Since I'm twelve I got the whole day. If i
explain it here is would be hard to understand. On google or
something else, look up the double slit experiment. It was an
experiment created by Thomas Young, that was meant to explain if
light was a stream of particles, or waves(today it's a photon a
combination of both). It turns out that the the human observation
collapse the wavefunction of subatomic particles. All I can tell
you is this, wavefunction is basically the chance of the position
and momentum of subatomic particles. You can't have a definite
answer to both of them. You either know more about the position and
less about the momentum and vise versa. Hope this helps.

An exciplex is an excited state whose wavefunction overlaps a
neighboring, dissimilar molecule. In contrast to an exciplex, an
excimer is an emissive excited state whose wavefunction overlaps
two adjacent molecules of like composition.
