Abstract
The WKB approximation of quantum mechanics is shown to yield a very accurate solution for massive particles. It allows both the amplitude and the wave number of the trajectory to vary as the cavity is traversed. Solutions are approximately 30 times more accurate than previously published. Comparisons are made with numerical integration.<>
