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...

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?
