For an oscillatory interval terminated by a hard boundary and a simple turning point, matching the boundary condition to the decaying solution gives an action integral equal to an integer multiple of with the turning-point phase correction.
For two simple turning points surrounding one classically allowed well,
The semiclassical action integral
is strictly increasing for a confining one-dimensional potential. Consequently the two-turning-point WKB quantization condition has at most one energy at each quantum number.
For the even potential
the turning points are for and for . Its action is
