QM4.1: Potential Barrier E ≥ V - The scattering problem
The Potential Barrier, case: E ≥ V₀
We easily infer the quantum mechanical study from the treatment of the potential step. For this scattering problem where the energy of the the particle is greater than the potential, we simply solve the Schrödinger equation keeping in mind that the potential is V₀ only for the width of the barrier.
