For a positive step potential and left incidence, take at fixed incident probability amplitude . The transmitted wavenumber tends to zero while the incident wavenumber tends to . Wavefunction matching at a finite potential step gives reflected amplitude and transmitted amplitude , producing the spatial wavefunction in the title. The left probability density is and the right density . The transmitted probability current still tends to zero because its velocity tends to zero. Over adjacent intervals of length , the right integrated density is twice the left. These ratios use finite local integrals of a non-normalizable stationary scattering state.
