Multiple choice
A particle of energy E=2.0E = 2.0 eV hits a rectangular barrier of height V0=4.0V_0 = 4.0 eV and width a=3.0a = 3.0 Å. With 2/(2m)=3.81\hbar^2/(2m) = 3.81 eV·Å2^2, the decay constant is κ=(V0E)/(2/2m)\kappa = \sqrt{(V_0-E)/(\hbar^2/2m)}. Estimate the transmission using Texp(2κa)T \approx \exp(-2 \kappa a).
