Answer

$2.22\times 10^{10}$

Work Step by Step

As the e reflection coefficient $R=0.074$, we can say that an electron has $0.074\%$ chance of being reflected. The incident beam sends $3.00\times10^9$ electrons against the potential step. Therefore, the number of electrons will be reflected is $=3.00\times10^9\times \frac{0.074}{100}\times100$ $=2.22\times 10^{10}$
