Tunneling: an Electron with Kinetic Energy 2

question 30

Multiple Choice

Tunneling: An electron with kinetic energy 2.80 eV encounters a potential barrier of height 4.70 eV. If the barrier width is 0.40 nm, what is the probability that the electron will tunnel through the barrier? (1 eV = 1.60 × 10^-19 J, m_el = 9.11 × 10^-31 kg, h = 6.626 × 10^-34 J ∙ s)

• A) 1.4 × 10^-2
• B) 2.8 × 10^-2
• C) 5.5 × 10^-2
• D) 1.1 × 10^-2
• E) 1.4 × 10^-1

Definitions:

Tuckman's Model

A theory describing four stages of group development: forming, storming, norming, and performing, which teams typically follow to become effective.

Group Development

The stages or phases that a group goes through as it matures, usually involving forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning.

Stages

Refers to the distinct phases or steps within a process or development cycle.

Cohesive Groups

Groups characterized by strong mutual attachment among members, leading to a unified and solid group structure.
