4.2: B₂= 0
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
In the first case we read off that A1=B3, and we find that k and κ are related by
ka=κatanκa.
This equation can be solved graphically. Use
k=√−κ2+κ20
with κ_0^2= \dfrac{2 m}{ℏ^2} V_0, and find that there is always at least one solution of this kind, no matter how small V_0!

In the middle region all these solutions behave like sines, and you will be asked to show that the solutions are invariant when x goes to − x. (We say that these functions are even.)
