4. A simple model of a radioactive nuclear decay assumes that alpha particles are trapped inside a nuclear potential well. An alpha particle is a particle made out of two protons and two neutrons and has a mass of 3.73 GeV/c². The nuclear potential can be modeled as a pair of barriers each with a width of 2.0 fm and a height of 30.0 MeV. Find the probability for an alpha particle to tunnel across one of the potential barriers if it has a kinetic energy of 20.0 MeV.
Four different particles are trapped in one dimensional wells with infinite potential at the walls and zero potential inside. The masses of the particles and their energy level, n , are given by: 1. mass=m, n=1 2. mass=2m, n=2 3. mass =3m, n=3 4. mass=4m, n=2 All these wells have the same length L. Rank the kinetic energy of the particles in order of size, smallest to largest. Group of answer choices E3 <E1<E2<E4 E1 = E4 < E2 < E3 E4 <E3 <E2 = E1 E1 < E2 = E4 < E3 E1 < E2 = E3 <E4
