Solution

Correct Answer:

Wave packet

A pure sine wave (infinite plane wave) has a perfectly defined momentum but is infinitely spread out in space ( is completely unknown).

  • A localized physical particle is represented by a Wave Packet, which is formed by the superposition of many waves with slightly different frequencies and wavelengths.
  • The constructive interference creates a pulse (packet) confined to a small region of space.

This hard difficulty physics question is from the chapter dual nature of radiation and matter, covering the topic of wave packet hard. It appeared in the 2025 exam.
