← ScienceWhich resulting behavior occurs when electrode spacing approaches electron de Broglie wavelength?
A)Quantum tunneling becomes increasingly dominant✓
B)Ohmic resistance linearly increases
C)Thermionic emission rapidly declines
D)Capacitive reactance proportionally declines
💡 Explanation
Enhanced quantum tunneling emerges because reduced geometries cause the electron's wave properties become significant; therefore electrons can transition across classically-forbidden regions, rather than being confined by resistance, thermionic ejection, or capacitive effects under those geometric conditions.
