Question 2
Classically, the concept of "tunneling" is impossible. Why?
◦
The kinetic energy of the particle would be negative.
◦
The velocity of the particle would be negative.
◦
The total energy of a particle is equal to the kinetic and potential energies.
◦
The kinetic energy must be equal to the potential energy.
◦
The total energy for the particle would be negative.
