← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when an electron encounters symmetrical potential barrier?
A)Finite probability of tunneling exists.✓
B)Complete reflection occurs due divergence.
C)Destructive interference cancels transmission.
D)Barrier absorbs the entire electron.
💡 Explanation
A real, finite probability for quantum tunnelingexists, because the electron's wavefunction extends into and propagates through the barrier; therefore, transmission occurs with reduced amplitude, rather than complete blockage or absorption.
