Use appropriate connection formulas to analyze the problem of scattering from a barrier with sloping walls (Figure 8.12). Hint: Begin by writing the WKB wave function in the form

Do not assume C = 0. Calculate the tunneling probability, , and show that your result reduces to Equation 8.22 in the case of a broad, high bather.
