A beam of particles, each of the same mass and the same energy, travels in the positive r-direction. The beam is incident on an abrupt potential energy step at 0 and some of the beam is transmitted into the region r > 0 and the rest reflected. The energy eigenfunction describing the beam is Aeik,Be-i for r< 0 )Cekfor T > 0, where the coefficients A, B and C are constants and ki and k are real constants (a) Write...

In class we looked at the example of the potential energy step seen below (where E > U_0). We wrote down the wave functions in complex exponential form as seen below: psi _0 (x) = A' e^i K_0 x + B' e^-i K_0 x x < 0 psi _1 (x) = C' e^i K_1 x + D' e^-i K_1 x x > 0 a) Assume the particles are incident on the barrier from the left, which coefficient can be set...

Scattering #1 Consider the "downstep" potential shown. A particle of mass m and energy E, incident from the left, strikes a potential energy drop-off of depth Vo 0 (2 pts) Using classical physics, consider a particle incident with speed vo. Use conservation of energy to find the speed on the right vf. ALSO, what is the probability that a given particle will "transmit" from the left side to the right side (again, classically)? A. B.

Each ? particle in a beam of ? particles has a kinetic energy of 5.0 MeV. Through what potential difference would you have to accelerate these a particles in order that they would have enough energy so that if one is fired head-on at a gold nucleus it could reach a point 1.0x10^-14 m from the center of the nucleus?
