The illustration shows a possible wave function for a particle tunneling through a potential-energy barrier of width L. The particle energy is less than the barrier height U 0. In which region is it impossible to find the particle? Q x < 0 2. between x = 0 and x = L 3. x > L 4. misleading question — the particle can be found in all three regions
