Chapter 40, Problem 40.61

(choose chapter or problem)

In your research on new solid-state devices, you are studying a solid-state structure that can be modeled accurately as an electron in a one-dimensional infinite potential well (box) of width L. In one of your experiments, electromagnetic radiation is absorbed in transitions in which the initial state is the n = 1 ground state. You measure that light of frequency f = 9.0 * 1014 Hz is absorbed and that the next higher absorbed frequency is 16.9 * 1014 Hz. (a) What is quantum number n for the final state in each of the transitions that leads to the absorption of photons of these frequencies? (b) What is the width L of the potential well? (c) What is the longest wavelength in air of light that can be absorbed by an electron if it is initially in the n = 1 state?
