Question

The motion of a wave packet is similar to _____________

a) Photons

b) Waves

c) Classical Particle

d) Quantum Particle ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The motion of a material/classical particle is equivalent to a group of waves or a wave packet. Such an expression can be derived by using the basic principles of motion.

Answer 2

C) Classical particle. The motion of a wave packet is similar to classical particle.

Wave packet and its motion

• Wave packet is an envelope of waves containing a range of different frequencies and since it contains many waves it will form interference patterns, that will lead to localization of the wave.

• The wave packet movement shows that it moves with group velocity. Group velocity describes how fast the wave packets move.

• Group velocity is anomalous to the classical velocity shown by Ehrenfest's theorem.
