Hello,
I'm studying the wave-particle duality, more specifically the matter-wave function of de Broglie:
[itex]\Psi[/itex](x,t)=A sin 2[itex]\pi[/itex]([itex]\frac{x}{\lambda}[/itex]-[itex]\nu[/itex] t)
where [itex]\lambda[/itex] is the de Broglie wave-length and [itex]\nu[/itex] is the frequency.
The interpretation of this wave is that, [itex]\Psi^{2}[/itex] would be the probability of finding the particle in a certain region of space and time.
For this to be true, we assume that a point font of radiation emits photons randomly and in all directions.
I want to know: why is the emission random?.
