The discussion centers on the quantum mechanics of a ball of mass m subjected to a potential defined as V(z) = mgz for z > 0 and V(z) = ∞ for z ≤ 0. Participants concluded that the transmission coefficient (T) for this scenario is 0, indicating that the ball cannot tunnel through the infinite potential barrier. This outcome is consistent with quantum tunneling principles, where an infinite barrier prevents any probability of transmission.
PREREQUISITESStudents and professionals in physics, particularly those focused on quantum mechanics, as well as researchers interested in the implications of potential barriers and tunneling phenomena.
supakorn said:if a ball of mass m moving under the potential : V(z) = mgz for z > 0 and V(z) = [tex]\infty[/tex] for z [tex]\leq0[/tex].What is the value of T : (Transmission coefficient)?
i get : T = 0
