(i) We consider a one-dimensional potential barrier problem. In order for the particle to tunnel
through the potential barrier of the width L, the difference between the barrier height U and the
incident energy E of the particle with mass m has to be close. Using the transmission
probability given in the text book / lecture, obtain the energy difference U-E which gives the
transmission probability of exp(-2).
(ii) We consider an infinite square well potential with the width L. Obtain the energy E_{gr} of
the lowest energy level (ground state) of the particle with mass m, and show that E_{gr} scales
linearly with E-U in the problem (i). The potential structures of (i) and (ii) can be viewed as
"shadows" of each other.
