8. Consider a potential barrier defined by 0 U(x)=Uo 0 T= x L with Up = 1.00 eV. An electron with energy E> 1 eV moving in the positive - direction is incident on this potential. The transmission probability for this situation is given by 4(E/U₁) [(E/U₁)-1] sin² √2m(E-Uo) L/h +4(E/Uo) [(E/U₁) - 1] It is found that the reflection probability is zero for E= 1.10 eV and non-zero for smaller incident energies.
