Where does the plane wave solution (cos (ax-bt) and e 2pi(ax-bt)) come from?
I know that any solution of the form f(ax-bt) is a solution to the general wave equation but why are the two particular ones above used for describing photons/ particles in quantum mechanics?
Anyone here know?
Ive got an exam in quantum mechanics in about a month and don't know anything yet!
