Express your answer as a percentage. Note: You are being asked to provide a precise calculation, using correct boundary conditions at x = 0 and x = L, and not to use an approximation. Hints for part d) of question 4: The required calculation is very similar to the calculation of the transmission coefficient T for the Finite Potential Barrier given in lectures, but with a different wavenumber in the region to the right of the barrier. After applying the boundary conditions at x = 0 and x = L, you may choose to simplify the expression you find for the transmission coefficient, T. In doing this a useful result is that the modulus-squared of f = αβ e−kLˆ − α ∗β ∗ e kLˆ , where α ≡ ˆk + ik and β ≡ ˆk + iq, is given by |f| 2 = 4(ˆk 2 + k 2 )(ˆk 2 + q 2 ) sinh2 ( ˆkL) + 4ˆk 2 (k + q) 2 .
