3. (?? pts) The Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland is the highest energy particle accelerator in the world. This year beams were created for the first time with an energy of 7 TeV protons with an intensity of 4.6 x10¹8 particles per second. (1 TeV = 10¹2 eV) At this energy, the protons are moving with a speed of 0.999999991c. At these energies, the proton mass of 938 MeV/c² is negligible. Suppose that this beam encounters a potential energy step: x≤0 regionl U(x 0 3TeV x>0 region II A) What is the momentum of the protons in region I and in region II? B) Write a wave function in both regions in terms of k, k', and normalization constants. C) Calculate k and k'. (Note: Schrödinger's equation is nonrelativistic, so we need to compute k and k'without relativity. This is a bit of a stretch, but necessary to do this problem.)
