Ah thank you. Now that brings up another question for the same problem but now E>Vo.
The wave equations go to:
Aexp(ikx) + Bexp(-ikx) when x < 0. k=sqrt(2mE)/hbar
Cexp(ilx) + Dexp(-ilx) when x > 0. l=sqrt(2m(E-Vo))/hbar
Now in this case why does D=0.
Homework Statement
I'm working through a step potential and I am confused as to why one of the coefficients doesn't go to zero.
V(x) = 0 when x < 0;
V(x) = V_not when x > 0;
a. Calculate reflection coefficient when E < V_not
I can solve the reflection part, it is a step towards it...
