How do I derive T (transmission) in a rectangular potential barrier with E > V0?

Barrier potential, E> V0

V(X) = 0 ( x < 0 )
= V0 ( 0 < x < a )
= 0 ( x> a )

Psi(x)1 = Aexp[ik1x] + B exp[-ik1x]
Psi(x)2 = Cexp[ik2x] + D exp[-ik2x]
Psi(x)3 = Fexp[ik1x] + G exp[-ik1x] ( K3= K1 so I put k1 )

and G = 0 because there is no reflection,

I used B.C so I get 4 functions
and I calculated and I found what is A/F .
but there is problem
exp[ik2a] and exp[-ik2a], I changed into sine and cosine
but there is remaind exp[ik1a]

I have to derive T(transmission) but there is no K1
how do I eliminate that?

this problem is from Introductory Nuclear Physics chap.2 - 1
please help me :(

You definitely should show more work, since I have no idea what steps you are doing and where you went wrong. But wikipedia does a very similar problem:

my Q was how I change t to T in wikipedia where you link.
why there is sine fomula?

but, finally I've done :)
thank you
 
Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
