Solutions to Schrodinger's equation are labeled with

• psi
• phi
• mu
• pi

The probability density is the

• square root of the wave function
• absolute value of the wave function
• inverse of the wave function
• absolute square of the wave function

The use of a scanning tunneling microscope places a conducting tip

• 0.5 to 0.8 nm from the surface
• 0.4 to 0.7 nm from the surface
• 0.4 to 0.9 nm from the surface
• 0.3 to 0.5 nm from the surface

How does a scanning tunneling microscope map a surface?

• by measuring the size of each individual electron
• by measuring the voltage created by electron transfer
• by measuring the size of each atom of the surface
• by measuring the current due to tunneling electrons

An object's path can be predicted using Newton's

• uncertainty principle
• particle theory
• conservation laws
• laws of motion
