Electrons are fired at a rectangular potential energy barrier, once every 245 ms. If the barrier is 2.55 nm thick and has a height that exceeds the energy of the incident electrons by exactly 612 meV, how long on average would you expect to wait for one electron to pass through the barrier?.

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...
