← ScienceWhich consequence results when a scanning tunneling microscope encounters significant vibration?
A)Wave function phase interference distorts image✓
B) tip crashes due to resonance
C)Reduced bias affects tunneling current
D)Increased Peltier effect damages sample
💡 Explanation
Wave function phase interference significantly distorts the output image because **quantum tunneling** depends on tip proximity. Mechanical vibration introduces uncontrollable phase shifts during image data acquisition. Therefore the image loses coherence, rather than resonance causing crashes.
