In a demonstration of the double slit experiment, a high velocity stream of dense spheres is fired at a slit, and another stream is fired at an adjacent identical slit. For each stream, all spheres pass straight through the slit, then hit the same location on a screen. Next, two streams of electrons are fired at two slits next to one another. On a screen beyond the slits, a diffraction pattern is formed. Which situation does classical mechanics explain, and which situation does quantum mechanics explain?

2. A free particle (a particle that has zero potential energy) has mass 8 eV/c² and total energy 10 eV and is traveling to the right. At x = 0, the potential jumps from zero to Vo = 5 eV and remains at this value for all positive x. (a) In classical mechanics, what happens to the particle when it reaches x = 0? (b) What is the wavenumber of the quantum particle in the region x > 0? (c) Find the reflection coefficient R and the transmission coefficient T for the quantum particle.
