Question & Answer
Choose the Best Answer
The wave function always collapses to the same state regardless of measurement
The wave function represents all possible states until measurement causes it to collapse to a definite state
The wave function is independent of the measurement process
The measurement problem states that the wave function collapses only under certain conditions unrelated to the observer
Understanding the Answer
Let's break down why this is correct
The wave function is a mathematical map that shows every possible state a particle can be in, like a list of all possible lottery numbers. Other options are incorrect because Misconception: thinking collapse is fixed and always leads to the same outcome; Misconception: treating the wave function like a background scenery that does not change.
