← ScienceWhich outcome results when a non-stationary state wave function evolves?
A)Oscillating expectation values of observables✓
B)Time-independent probability density function
C)Energy conservation law is violated
D)System remains in the initial eigenstate
💡 Explanation
Oscillating expectation values arise because the non-stationary state is a superposition of energy eigenfunctions with different time-dependent phases. Therefore, observables oscillate, rather than remaining constant or violating energy conservation, due to time evolution of the wave function.
