Which outcome arises when an electron's wavefunction penetrates a potential barrier in a quantum tunneling scenario?

💡 Explanation

When an electron wavefunction encounters a potential barrier, quantum tunneling can occur because the wavefunction has a non-zero probability of penetrating the barrier, resulting in a finite probability of transmission. Therefore possibility of transmission increases, rather than resonance, energy gain or charge accumulation, which rely on specific or classical events.
