The potential step, above V0 and below it

Does microwave power crossing an air gap between two paraffin prisms fall exponentially with gap width, and does the fitted decay constant match the evanescent prediction? Useful evidence includes transmitted power against gap width at fixed angle, a log-linear fit giving the decay constant with uncertainty, that constant against the value predicted from angle and index, standing waves named as a systematic, and a written statement that this is a classical electromagnetic analogue of barrier penetration - the same exponential mathematics, not a quantum measurement..

This GioPhysics course map is an adaptable learning sequence, not academic credit, accreditation, or a universal university syllabus. It is a first dedicated quantum-mechanics course, distinct from University Physics V, which covers quantum mechanics alongside atomic, nuclear and particle physics in twenty units: this course is narrower, slower, and teaches the linear algebra it needs rather than assuming it. Hydrogen appears here as an introduction, with the full radial derivation belonging to a second course. A midterm examination is assumed around week 8. Follow your institution's published scope, notation, laboratory programme, and assessment rules. A result should be checked against units, signs, limiting cases, and the conditions under which its model was derived.
