Which quantized result arises when an electron's probability density function extends through a classically forbidden region?

💡 Explanation

Electron quantum tunneling occurs because the wave function allows the particle to penetrate a barrier, therefore tunneling can happen even if total energy is less than that of the barrier, rather than reflection alone with insufficient energy.
