Use the approximate Equation (6.73) to estimate theprobability of (a) a 1.4-eV electron

Chapter 6, Problem 48

(choose chapter or problem)

Use the approximate Equation (6.73) to estimate theprobability of (a) a 1.4-eV electron tunneling througha 6.4-eV-high barrier of width 2.8 nm, and (b) a 4.4-MeV particle tunneling through a uranium nucleuswhere the potential barrier is 19.2 MeV and 7.4 fmwide. (c) Discuss whether the approximation was validfor these two cases. Explain.
