Which consequence results when evaluating hydrogen atom wave functions exhibits indeterminate forms near the nucleus?

A)Probability amplitudes become non-physical
B)Energy levels shift unexpectedly upwards
C)Degeneracy splits into distinct levels
D)Transition rates approach zero exponentially

💡 Explanation

Non-physical probability amplitudes occur because *L'Hôpital's rule* must be applied to resolve the indeterminate wave functions. Resolving indeterminate forms is necessary therefore probability remains normalized, rather than causing incorrect energy levels or suppressed transition energies.
