And when we're talking about the amplitude of the wave, we're talking about the deviation from that average level. So, if we define the average level as zero, you can have either a positive amplitude or a negative amplitude.

当我们讨论一个波的振幅时,我们说的是偏离平均位置的量,如果我们把平均位置,定义为零的话，那幅值不是,正的就是负的，有时候人们在。

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。
