Fundamentals of Physics, II (PHYS 201) The fact that the wave function provides the complete description of a particle's location and momentum is emphasized. Measurement collapses the wave function into a spike located at the measured value. The quantization of momentum for a particle on a ring is deduced. 00:00 - Chapter 1.
