quantum mechanics - Transparence of an infinite square well?



What does it mean by an infinite square well being transparent? I have been doing the calculation of the infinite square well and I came up with an answer $T = 1$ where $T$ for Transmission coefficient. But I can't really tell what it actually means in terms of physics. I would imagine a particle to be trapped in a infinite square well to be the inner electron very close to a Big nucleus, So what does it mean by transparent in this context? Does it mean No other wave function can interact with this electron?


If there is an infinite potential, why would wavefunction still be able to pass through it but not getting bounce off the edges? of the well?

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
