The waves in quantum mechanics are not like newtonian waves. They are
probability waves. You need to take Franz's advice and read some good
textbooks about it if you are really that interested. Probably the easiest
textbook to understand with the full QM math is "Introduction to Quantum
Mechanics" by Griffiths. Even if you don't fully understand the math, read
it.
