Is Wave Mechanics consistent with Classical Logic?
Abstract
Contrary to a wide-spread commonplace, an exact, ray-based treatment holding for any kind of monochromatic wave-like features (such as diffraction and interference) is provided by the structure itself of the Helmholtz equation. This observation allows to dispel - in apparent violation of the Uncertainty Principle - another commonplace, forbidding an exact, trajectory-based approach to Wave Mechanics.
