Solutions of the Time Independent Schrödinger Equation (TISE)

Background: While, as in Problem 3, many general facts may be derived from the eigenstate expansion, to answer specific questions we need the solutions to the TISE. This problem develops that skill.

This problem involves a packet reflecting from the potential shown in Figure 2.
