← ScienceWhich outcome increases when electrons encounter narrower potential barriers?
A)Quantum tunneling probability increases notably✓
B)Electron charge density remains constant
C)Barrier reflection becomes total internally
D)Electron energy becomes strictly quantized
💡 Explanation
Tunneling probability increases as barrier width decreases because wave functions decay less within a narrower barrier, therefore electrons more readily penetrate; rather than reflection increasing from refraction effects which require interfaces.
