Wave function is a variable or oscillating quantity in both space and time whose variation gives position of particle in space at a certain time.It may be a magnetic or electric field in case of electromagnetic waves, or vertical distance of a rope from equillibrium postion etc_ By Choudhry Adeel Akram Foji

What is the physical interpretation of bessel function?

spherical bessel function arise in the solution of spherical schrodinger wave equation. in solving the problem of quantum mechanics involving spherical symmetry, like spherical potential well, the solution that is the wave function is spherical bessel function


Does quantum and wave mechanics deal with matter?

Yes, as well as other things. Quantum mechanics (also called wave mechanics) is the only approach that can accurately predict the probability of where and in what state matter will end up, given certain initial conditions.


What is normalization in quantum mechanics?

Did you mean normalization or renormalization? Normalization involves determination of constants such that the value and first determinant of each segment of a wave function match at the intersections of the segments. Renormalization is a process to remove infinities from a wave function.
