Which consequence results when a scanning tunneling microscope tip's extremely low voltage disturbs electron orbitals?

💡 Explanation

Increased quantum tunneling probability occurs because the applied voltage modulates the potential barrier that electrons must overcome; this is field emission driven by quantum tunneling, therefore tunneling increases rather than orbital changes because it's a direct effect of the modulated field.
