Thanks for all the replies everyone, i get it now. I was pretty much getting confused because i thought a wave and a wave function were the same but it makes sense now.
Thanks again:)
Well this will hopefully be in answered in one post since I think it's supposed to be simple.
What exactly is a wave and a wave function?
I tried looking at the wiki but it kept mentioning things i didn't know so i ended up on a completely unrelated page after following all sorts of links...
