How does the wave represent momentum?
Is the following correct? E = cf = 0.5mv.v Therefore for fixed v, frequency is proportional to momentum.

CAN ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE AMPLITUDE OF THE WAVE FUNCTION REPRESENTS????
Is it the electric potential of the particle as a function of space?

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!! I have been looking for this explanation for 25 years! At university we had the equation force fed to us with no regard to it's origins! For something of such profound significance, we deserve to understand how the principle was arrived at. This is necessary in order for us to ACCEPT the principle as a TRUTH. When we can accept such an equation it becomes so much easier to accept what the equation tells us about the probabilistic nature of the quantum world. Thank you so

@gvsfgdf wrong, that is the simple chemistry explanation. heisenberg based his principal off the math surrounding it, the math it why we are uncertain of both at the same time... 7 people who liked that are all idiots

I personally think that something more fundamental is going on, that physicists haven't discovered yet. The idea of a superposition of probabilities, until an observer collapses the wave function is too bizarre, physicists are left buying into the many worlds theory or the Copenhagen interpretation... I don't buy either... I'm not of course saying that physicists necessarily buy into those interpretations, but they have to think in those terms to do the physics, especially if they are theorists.

because when u observe the electron the light hitting it moves it...
