The quiz is due before class today, 3 June 2004.



Consider the potential barrier shown in the picture. The particle has energy E as shown on the diagram. What can you say about the wave number of the wavefunction in the three regions x in 0 to a, x in a to b, x greater than b?

How do the "oscillations" of the wavefunction change between the regions?

Is the solution of the Schrödinger equation different in character in one of the regions as compared to the others?
