Side note, the problem you have presented is not a finite box as the wave function does not look like that for a finite box. The math for a finite box is much more complicated than that for the infinite box. I think you are confusing finite and inifinte with the length of the box instead of the depth of the box. The idea with the infinite box is that there is an infinite potential (or walls) at the side of the box while with the finite box does not have an infinite potential (looks like a well). The problem you seem to have posted is a free particle which is still a difficult problem [[User:Swifty|Swifty]] 19:16, 9 December 2009 (EST)

I would also strongly recommend against talking about tunneling without talking about the math behind it. As it stands now your introduction to tunneling is confusing. [[User:Swifty|Swifty]] 19:17, 9 December 2009 (EST)
