An electron confined to a one-dimensional box has energy levels given by the equation En

Chapter 7, Problem 93

(choose chapter or problem)

An electron confined to a one-dimensional box has energy levels given by the equation En = n2 h2 > 8 mL2 where n is a quantum number with possible values of 1, 2, 3,c , m is the mass of the particle, and L is the length of the box. a. Calculate the energies of the n = 1, n = 2, and n = 3 levels for an electron in a box with a length of 155 pm. b. Calculate the wavelength of light required to make a transition from n = 1 h n = 2 and from n = 2 h n = 3. In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum do these wavelengths lie?
