Which outcome occurs when a quantum mechanical system's wave function exhibits spatial confinement?

💡 Explanation

Energy level quantization occurs because the confinement restricts the possible wavelengths of the wave function. Therefore spectral lines will be observable, rather than the energy levels getting more granular.
