Website Detail Page

written by the Kansas State Physics Education Research Group and Dean A. Zollman
This resource shows the relation between quantum wave functions and probabilities.  The user can draw a 1D wavefunction, and observe the resultant probability distribution.  Both the probability density at a single point and the probability in any interval can be measured.
