Particles of energy E are incident from the left, where U(x) — 0, and at the origin encounter an abrupt drop in potential energy, whose depth is —3E. (a) Classically, what would the particles do, and what would happen to their kinetic energy? (b) Apply quantum mechanics. Assuming an incident wave of the form ψinc(x) = leikx, where the normalization constant has been given the simple value of 1, determine completely the wave func­tion everywhere, including numeric values for the multiplicative constants, (c) What is the probability that incident particles will be reflected?
