Reflection and tunneling of an electron wavepacket directed at a potential barrier. The bright spot moving to the left is the reflected part of the wavepacket. A very dim spot can be seen moving to the right of the barrier. This is the small fraction of the wavepacket that tunnels through the classically forbidden barrier. Also notice the interference fringes between the incoming and reflected waves. Picture and content from Wikipedia
