In practical terms we think of the wave equation as "collapsing" but that's because in the two most common examples Schrodinger's cat and the double slit experiment we "nail" down the state of the cat or the position of the electron at the end of the experiment. Consider the uncertainty principle, giving us a maximum about what we can know about a particle. The *more* we know about the position of a particle, the *less* we know about it's momentum e.g. visible light can be thought of as photons but clearly it refracts too.
