Answer to Problem 1CQ

The particle is not in bound state.

Explanation of Solution

The Barrier’s potential U(x) and particle’s energy E.The figure is not representingthe particle in bound state as the particle is probably tunneling through walls each time it bounces back and forth, which means that the particle would eventually get-out. Therefore, it is not bound as it is not permanently trapped.
