← ScienceWhich phenomenon results when a quantum particle's wave function extends non-zero into classically forbidden region?
A)Quantum entanglement across long distances
B)Quantum decoherence due to environment
C)Quantum tunneling through potential barrier✓
D)Quantum superposition of distinct states
💡 Explanation
When a particle's wave function extends into a classically forbidden region, then quantum tunneling occurs because there is finite probability of particle transfer through potential barrier, even if insufficient energy. Therefore, quantum tunneling results rather than entanglement, decoherence, or superposition, which depend on other quantum properties.
