Potential step — UPSC IFoS 2013 Physics PYQ

Buy PYQ Solution Manual →

Write down Schrödinger equations for a particle of energy E < V_0, incident on a step potential height V_0. Solve them to find out the transmission and reflection coefficients in terms of k and k', where k = \sqrt{\frac{2mE}{\hbar^2}} and k' = \sqrt{\frac{2m(V_0 - E)}{\hbar^2}}. Show that in this case, there is a finite probability of finding the particle in a classically forbidden region.
