Answer to Question #299425 in Quantum Mechanics for Jacy

Question

Explain symmetric and antisymmetric function using three identical particles

Answer 1

Answer

Let there is a wave function

$\psi(x)$ .

Now put x=-x

Then this function said to be symmetric as

$\psi (-x) =\psi (x)$

Otherwise if

$\psi (-x) =-\psi (x)$

Then this said to antisymmetric.
