Construct solutions of Schrodinger equation for a particle moving the potential \begin{aligned} V(x) &= 0 & \text{for } x < 0 \\\\ &= V_0 & \text{for } x > 0 \end{aligned} Deduce the reflection coefficient for particles incident from left to right (i.e. from negative to positive x regions) with energy E > V_0. Do you expect any reflection for particles of same energy incident from right to left? Explain qualitatively.
