Suppose a beam of 4.60 eV protons strikes a potential energy barrier of height 6.60 eV and thickness 0.650 nm, at a rate equivalent to a current of 1110 A. (a) How many years would you have to wait (on average) for one proton to be transmitted through the barrier? (b) How long would you have to wait if the beam consisted of electrons rather than protons? (a) Number Units (b) Number Units
