<strong>Wave</strong> PacketIt can be shown rigorously (Fourier analysis) that if wecontinue to add waves of different wavelengths withproperly chosen amplitudes <strong>and</strong> phases, we can eventuallyachieve something like a wave localized in a region oforder Δx, when waves within a range of wave-vectorsΔk ~ (Δx) -1 are added up.x-spacek-spaceΔxΔkNote that Δx Δk ~ 1, Uncertainty Principle!74
