← ScienceWhich consequence results when thermal fluctuations disrupt a crystal lattice?
A)Decreased resistance; increased phonon scattering✓
B)Increased conductivity; minimized electron transitions
C)Lattice rigidity; preserved heat transfer
D)Uniform phonon distribution; negligible resistivity
💡 Explanation
Increased randomness leads to decreased order; phonon scattering increases because lattice periodicity is lost which increases resistance; therefore, (A), decreasing resistance would only arise from increased order, rather than disorder.
