| Popis: | In this paper, we use the WKB approximation method to approximately solve a deformed Schrodinger-like differential equation: $\left[ -\hbar^{2} \partial_{\xi}^{2}g^{2}\left( -i\hbar\alpha\partial_{\xi}\right) -p^{2}\left( \xi\right) \right] \psi\left( \xi\right) =0$, which are frequently dealt with in various effective models of quantum gravity, where the parameter $\alpha$ characterizes effects of quantum gravity. For an arbitrary function $g\left( x\right) $ satisfying several properties proposed in the paper, we find the WKB solutions, the WKB connection formulas through a turning point, the deformed Bohr--Sommerfeld quantization rule, and the deformed tunneling rate formula through a potential barrier. Several examples of applying the WKB approximation to the deformed quantum mechanics are investigated. In particular, we calculate the bound states of the P\"{o}schl-Teller potential and estimate the effects of quantum gravity on the quasinormal modes of a Schwarzschild black hole. Moreover, the area quantum of the black hole is considered via Bohr's correspondence principle. Finally, the WKB solutions of the deformed Wheeler--DeWitt equation for a closed Friedmann universe with a scalar field are obtained, and the effects of quantum gravity on the probability of sufficient inflation is discussed in the context of the tunneling proposal.
