Wave functions: illustrative model
Objective and steps
Did you find a relation? Any idea? Any conjecture?
Confront your findings with the next illustrative model.
Students work in pairs (student A and B).
1) Student A shuffles values a and b, pushing the red button. A new wave function would appear in the graphic view.
2) Student B manipulates sliders to select values A and , so the blue graphic superimposes the red one.
3) Students write down conclusions about the observed numerical and geometric relations.
