← ScienceWhich consequence unfolds when eigenfunctions fail spatial orthogonality?
A)Energy eigenvalues become degenerate states
B)Time-independent solutions lose physical meaning
C)Superposition results change predictably
D)Probability density normalization becomes inconsistent✓
💡 Explanation
When eigenfunctions are not spatially orthogonal, normalizing wavefunctions becomes problematic because completeness is compromised causing probability sums to deviate outside unitarity; therefore, unitarity of state changes is at risk, rather than those of options A, B, C where different orthogonality constraints might affect outcomes.
