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...
