An electron having total energy E = 3.40 eV approaches
a rectangular energy barrier with U = 4.10 eV and
L = 950 pm as shown in the figure below. Classically, the
electron cannot pass through the barrier because E <
U. Quantum-mechanically, however, the probability of
tunneling is not zero.
(a) Calculate this probability, which is the transmission
coefficient. (Use 9.11 10-31 kg for the mass
of an electron, 1.055 10-34 J · s for ℏ, and
note that there are...
