Round 4: Tossup 5

David Bohm theorized a guiding example of these phenomena in a namesake hidden-variable theory. Envelopes of these phenomena, whose speed is measured by group velocity, contain their namesake “packets.” A quantity equal to Planck’s constant over momentum defines (-5[1])the (15[1])“matter” type (-5[1])of these phenomena (15[1])introduced by Louis (*) de Broglie (10[1])(“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 when (-5[1])observed. Light (10[1])exhibits (-5[1])characteristics of both particles and these phenomena. (10[3]-5[1])For 10 points, lambda denotes the classical “length” between the peaks of what phenomena?

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