Answer

$5.6\times 10^{4}$

Work Step by Step

As the e reflection coefficient $R=0.112$, we can say that an electron has $0.112\%$ chance of being reflected. The incident beam sends $5.00\times10^5$ electrons against the potential step. Therefore, the number of electrons will be reflected is $=5.00\times10^5\times \frac{0.112}{100}\times100$ $=5.6\times 10^{4}$
