ψx is applied boundary condition in order wave function has well behave in all interval of x.
1. Particle come from left side to the right side of step potential at x=0 may be
undergoes ressistance, hence reflection is happen. But in x0 there is no wave which propagate in left direction, hence coefficient D in equation
10.17 equals to zero D=0.
2. Condition of well behave function is ψx continue at x=0, it is obtained:
A + B = C 10.18 3. Condition of well behave function
