Musical instruments that start with the letter I include the igil, ipu, Irish uillean, Irish bouzouki, ichigenkin, inci, iya, itotele and istarski mih. The instruments originate from countries ranging from Cuba and Ireland to Croatia, Japan and the Philippines.
Bessel's functions are often used in acoustics for describing circular membranes behaviour (exploited by most of the musical instruments). They are the solutions of the wave equations using polar coordinates. Set the properties of the membrane Bessel's functions describe the vibrational modes of the membrane.
A wave function in quantum physics is a description of the quantum state of a system. The wave function is a complex-valued probability amplitude, and the probabilities for the possible results of measurements made on the system can be derived from it.
