gives the transmission coefficient T
for electron tunneling through a po-
tential barrier, plotted versus barrier
thickness L. The de Broglie wave-
lengths of the electrons are identical
in the three experiments. The only
difference in the physical setups is
the barrier heights U. Rank the

tionary free electron gains when a photon
scatters from it. We can plot K versus the an-
gle o at which the photon scatters; see curve
1 in Fig. 38-21. If we switch the target to be a
stationary free proton, does the end point of
the graph shift (a) upward as suggested by
curve 2, (b) downward as suggested by curve
3, or (c) remain the same?
