(a) If the incoming wave is(where), find the reflected wave.
(b) Confirm that the reflected wave has the same amplitude as the incident wave.
(c) Find the phase shift(Equation 11.40) for a very deep well.
Check that Equation 11.65 satisfies Equation 11.52, by direct substitution. Hint:
Find the scattering amplitude, in the Born approximation, for soft sphere scattering at arbitrary energy. Show that your formula reduces to Equation 11.82 in the low-energy limit.
Use the one-dimensional Born approximation (Problem 11.17) to compute the transmission coefficient for scattering from a delta function (Equation 2.114) and from a finite square well (Equation 2.145). Compare your results with the exact answers (Equations 2.141 and 2.169).
