← ScienceWhich outcome increases when a scanning tunneling microscope tip’s voltage increases?
A)Tunneling current measurement resolution increases✓
B)Sample surface atoms become supercooled
C)Tip material undergoes rapid oxidation
D)Quantum entanglement within sample increases
💡 Explanation
The tunneling current resolution increases because increased voltage enables more electrons to overcome the potential barrier via quantum tunneling. Therefore, a clearer image is produced, rather than oxidation or increased randomness because tip voltage directly biases electronic behavior.
