A particle is incident from the left with energy E > V0. Compute the reflection coefficient.
Match the figures on the left, with the appropriate one on the right
Consider a particle passing over a rectangular potential barrier from left to right. Write down the general form of \Psi(x) in the three regions. The use the boundary conditions to derive 4 equations for the 5 unknown coefficients. For 10 bonus points, use these 4 equations to derive an expression for the transmission coefficient.
