Build-up of trapped particles

 

Sketch for large values of A, the ratio, as a function of k, of a) the probability of finding the particle trapped between the -function and the infinite wall to b) to the rate of particles incoming from the source. For a fixed value of the incoming beam, near which values of k do you find the greatest build up of particles?
Note: to make the algebra simpler, you may work under the limit that ka>>1 so that .
