So, for example, if we were looking at the actual wave function, we would say that these parts here have a positive amplitude, and in here we have a negative amplitude.

我们看，一个波函数,我们说，它这部分幅值，为正,这部分幅值为负，当我们看。

Remember when we have waves we can have positive or a negative amplitude.

记住一个波会有,正的幅值和负的幅值。

So, what this means is that when we're looking at an actual wave function, we're treating it as a wave, right, so waves can have both magnitude, but they can also have a direction, so they can be either positive or negative.

这意味着,当我们看一个波函数时,我们把它看做一个波，波不仅有幅值，还有方向，所以它们可正可负，如果。

So again, if we think of a graph of the wave function, we had the wave function is at its highest amplitude when it's lined up with the nucleus, and then as we got further away from the nucleus, the amplitude of the wave function ends up tapering off until it never hits zero exactly, but it goes down very low.

同样，如果我们想象一幅波函数的图，波函数在原子核的位置上,有着最高的振幅，随着与原子核距离变远，波函数振幅逐渐变小直到,它永远不会到零，但它会变得很小。
