Connection formulae for WKB approximation

In quantum mechanics, Schrödinger’s equation for certain systems with varying parameters cannot be solved directly. In such a case, an approximation method is used to obtain the approximate solution. WKB method is a special technique used to obtain the approximate solution for Schrödinger’s time-independent equation. In general, the WKB method is used to solve linear differential equations with varying coefficients. This method is called semiclassical approximation in quantum mechanics.
