An electron is in the ground state in a two-dimensional, square, infinite potential well with edge lengths L.We will probe for it in a square of area 400 pm2 that is centered at x=L/8 and y=L/8. The probability of detection turns out to be 4.5 * 10-8. What is edge length L?
An electron is trapped in a one-dimensional infinite potential well. For what (a) higher quantum number and (b) lower quantum number is the corresponding energy difference equal to the energy difference E43 between the levels n = 4 and n = 3? (c) Show that no pair of adjacent levels has an energy difference equal to 2E43.
An electron is confined in a 0.4 nm-wide region with a potential energy depth of 14.0 eV. What is the ratio of the penetration distances into the classically forbidden region for the electron in the n =1 and n = 3 states? (Hints: Content in Lecture 10 is required to solve this problem. The “penetration distance” is the characteristic distance the particle’s wave function can penetrate into a potential energy barrier.)
