with Up = 1.00 eV. An electron with energy E> 1 eV moving in the positive -
direction is incident on this potential. The transmission probability for this situation
is given by
4(E/U₁) [(E/U₁)-1]
sin² √2m(E-Uo) L/h +4(E/Uo) [(E/U₁) - 1]
It is found that the reflection probability is zero for E= 1.10 eV and non-zero for
smaller incident energies. What is the width of the potential barrier L?

Pulsed lasers are very similar to regular lasers, except they don't continuously emit laser light. Baby spice is looking at one on Ebay, and she finds a pulsed He-Ne laser that emits a cylindrical
beam of light with a diameter of 0.750 cm. Each pulse lasts for 1.30 ns, and each burst contains an amount of energy equal to 3.00 J. Baby Spice has the following questions about this laser.
(a) What is the length of each pulse of laser light?
m
(b) What is the average energy per unit volume for each pulse?
J/m³
