Which phenomenon causes electrons encountering narrow potential barrier, despite insufficient classical energy?

💡 Explanation

When electrons encounter a barrier, quantum tunneling occurs because of the wave-like properties, allowing the electron's wave function to penetrate the barrier despite having insufficient energy classically. Therefore penetration results, rather than diffraction, entanglement or condensation, which function differently.
