Use the approximate Equation (6.73) to estimate the probability of (a) a 1.4-eV electron tunneling through a 6.4-eV-high barrier of width 2.8 nm, and (b) a 4.4-MeV α particle tunneling through a uranium nucleus where the potential barrier is 19.2 MeV and 6.7 fm wide. (c) Discuss whether the approximation was valid for these two cases. Explain.
