← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when measuring electron position near a quantum dot?
A)Orbital wave function irreversibly collapses✓
B)Electron gains kinetic energy precisely
C)Heisenberg uncertainty principle is nullified
D)Coupling to other quantum dots stops
💡 Explanation
The measurement forces collapse because observation interacts with the electron, triggering wave function collapse, therefore a single definite position is observed, rather than its prior probabilistic distribution over orbitals; B, C, D are incorrect properties.
