A beam of electrons, each with energy E=0.1V0 , is incident on a potential step with V0 = 2 eV. This is of the order of magnitude of the work function for electrons at the surface of metals. Calculate and graph (at least 5 points) the relative probability |Ψ2|^2 of particles penetrating the step up to a distance x = 10-9 m, or roughly five atomic diameters. (Hint: assume A=1.)

A beam of particles is incident from the negative x direction on a potential energy step at x = 0. When x < 0, the potential energy of the particles is zero, and for x > 0 the potential energy has the constant positive value U0. In the region x < 0, the particles have a kinetic energy K that is smaller than U0. What should the form of the wave function be in the region x > 0?
