The aim of Part II of this paper is to try to describe wave functions on q-deformed versions of position and momentum space. This task is done within the framework developed in Part I of the paper. In order to make Part II self-contained the most important results of Part I are reviewed. Then it is shown that q-deformed exponentials and q-deformed delta functions play the role of momentum and position eigenfunctions, respectively. Their completeness and orthonormality relations are derived. For both bases of eigenfunctions matrix elements of position and momentum operators are calculated. A q-deformed version of the spectral decomposition of multiplication operators is discussed and q-analogs of Heaviside functions are proposed. Interpreting the results from the point of view provided by the concept of quasipoints gives the formalism a physical meaning. The definition of expectation values and the calculation of probability densities are explained in detail. Finally, it is outlined how the considerations so far carry over to antisymmetrized spaces.
