Identical particles, each with energy E, are incident on the following four potential energy
barriers:
1. barrier height = 5E, barrier width = 2L
2. barrier height = 10E, barrier width = L
3. barrier height = 17E, barrier width = L/2
4. barrier height = 26E, barrier width = L/3
Rank the barriers in terms of the probability that the particles tunnel through them, from least
probability to greatest probability.
A. 1, 2, 3, 4
B. 4, 3, 2, 1
C. 1 and 2 tied, then 3, then 4
D. 2, then 1 and 3 tied, then 4
E. 3, 2, 1, 4
