Packet 4: Tossup 5

David Bohm theorized a guiding example of these phenomena in a namesake hidden-variable (15[1])theory. Envelopes of these phenomena, whose speed is measured by group velocity, (15[1])contain their namesake “packets.” A quantity (15[1])equal to Planck’s constant over momentum (-5[1])defines (-5[1])the (15[1])“matter” type (-5[1])of these phenomena (15[1])introduced by (15[1])Louis (*) de Broglie (10[2])(“duh BROY”). Quantum states (10[1])are described by these phenomena’s “functions,” which (10[1])are defined by the Schrödinger equation and experience collapse (10[1])when (-5[1])observed. Light (10[1])exhibits (-5[1])characteristics of both particles and (10[1])these phenomena. (10[4]-5[1])For 10 points, lambda denotes the classical “length” between the peaks of what phenomena? (10[1])■END■ (10[8])

ANSWER: waves [accept pilot wave theory; or wave packets; or matter waves; or wavelength; or wavefunctions]
