1] A particle is scattered from a square potential well.

There are three situations:

a) the average particle energy is 1/2 the well depth.

b) the average particle energy is equal to the well depth .

c) the average particle energy is twice the well depth.

2} A particle is scattered from a square potential barrier.

There are three situations:

a) the average particle energy is 1/2 the well height.

b) the average particle energy is equal to the well height.

c) the average particle energy is twice the well height
