An electron has a kinetic energy of 13.4 eV. The electron is
incident upon a rectangular barrier of height 19.6 eV and width
1.00 nm. If the electron absorbed all the energy of a photon of
green light (with wavelength 546 nm) at the instant it reached the
barrier, by what factor would the electron's probability of
tunneling through the barrier increase?
