← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when the wavefunction amplitude decays exponentially?
A)Quantum tunneling probability increases✓
B)Energy bandgap widens substantially
C)Electron localization becomes more probable
D)Superconductivity critical temperature rises
💡 Explanation
Exponential decay increases quantum tunneling because the transmission probability relies on the wave extending through a potential barrier via **quantum tunneling**. Therefore, tunneling is facilitated, rather than options implying diminished quantum behavior, under these rapid wave function decay conditions.
