Suppose a beam of 5 eV protons strikes a potential energy barrier of height 6 eV and thickness 0.25 nm , at a rate equivalent to a current of 1000A (which is extremely high current!). a. How long would you have to wait, on average, for one proton to be transmitted? Give answer in seconds. b. How long would you have to wait if a beam of electrons with the same energy and current would strike potential barrier of the same height and length? Give answer in seconds.
