← ScienceWhich consequence results when the normalization condition fails in quantum wave functions describing particles in a potential well?
A)Probability density is not conserved✓
B)Energy eigenvalues become quantized
C)Wave function becomes time-independent
D)Uncertainty principle gets violated
💡 Explanation
If the normalization condition fails, then the total probability of finding the particle does not equal one, because the squared wave function does not integrate to unity. Therefore, probability density isn't conserved, rather than quantization effects, because quantization is governed by the Schrödinger equation.
