Which outcome occurs when an excited-state electron’s wave function penetrates into a forbidden region in a quantum dot?

💡 Explanation

Resonant tunneling occurs as the electron’s wave function overlaps energy states outside the quantum dot; because quantum tunneling transmits electrons through energy forbidden regions, therefore electrons escape easier, rather than remain confined affecting quantum energy.
