Solution

The correct option is B
Amplitude of the wave

$ψ$ represents amplitude of the wave. Wave Function, in quantum mechanics variable quantity that mathematically describes the wave characteristics of a particle. The value of the wave function of a particle at a given point of space and time is related to the likelihood of the particle’s being there at the time.
