We discuss an exact relation between the two-particle scattering amplitude and the Bethe-Salpeter (BS) wave function inside the interaction range in quantum field theory. In the relation the reduced BS wave function defined by the BS wave function plays an essential role. Through the relation the on-shell and half off-shell amplitudes can be calculated.
We also show that the solution of Schr\"odinger equation with the effective potential determined from the BS wave function gives a correct on-shell scattering amplitude only at the momentum where the effective potential is determined.
Furthermore we discuss a derivative expansion of the reduced BS wave function and a condition to obtain results independent of the interpolating operators in the time-dependent HALQCD method.
