а.
b. Sketch the probability density functions for the two lowest energy states: P(x), P,(x).
Draw an energy level diagram for the for the first four energy levels.
C.
d. What are the wavelengths, å,, 4, , of the two longest wavelength photons that could be
absorbed by an electron in the first excited state (the n=2 state) in this trap. Assume that
one-dimensional electron traps can absorb and emit photons.
