Which consequence results when attempting quantum tunneling via increased barrier width?

A)Exponential decay of wave function
B)Increased particle kinetic energy
C)Wave function phase shift increase
D)Resonance interference becomes destructive

💡 Explanation

Tunneling probability exponentially decreases with barrier width increase because the wave function decays exponentially inside, decreasing amplitude. Therefore, tunneling becomes significantly less likely, rather than increasing kinetic energy because of confinement or phase shifting interfering constructively.
