In the classically allowed region between \(x_1\) and \(x_2\), the signs of the wave function \(\mathit{\Psi}(x)\) and the curvature \(\frac{\partial^2 \mathit{\Psi}(x) }{\partial x^2}\) (second spatial derivative of the wave function) are opposite at the location \(x\). This behavior leads to the oscillation of the wave function in the classically allowed region. In the classically forbidden region, the wave function and its curvature always have the same sign (both positive or both negative at the location \(x\)).
