← ScienceWhich consequence results when limits cause quantum tunneling?
A)Alpha particle decay from nuclei✓
B)Increased bandgap in semiconductors
C)Elevated electron mobility in channels
D)Suppressed Cooper pair formation rate
💡 Explanation
Alpha decay undergoes quantum tunneling, because the alpha particle exceeds the potential barrier due to inherent probabilities; therefore, decay happens rather than remaining confined by electromagnetic and strong forces as suggested in alternatives.
