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.
