Which outcome results when a semiconductor quantum dot's wave function is tightly confined by surrounding potential energy barriers?

💡 Explanation

When the wave function becomes tightly confined, the uncertainty principle dictates a larger momentum uncertainty, increasing the kinetic energy and transition energy between quantum states. Therefore, increased transition energy results, rather than the alternatives which imply reduced quantum effects from altered potential barriers.
