Piecewise constant potentials in one dimension (5min)

Write down the general solution of
$\displaystyle \left[-\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\frac{d^2}{dx^2}
+ V \right]\psi(x)$ $\displaystyle =$ $\displaystyle {E}\psi({x}),\quad x\in [x_1,x_2]$ (6)

for $ E<V$ and $ E>V$. What is the difference between these two cases?
