The energy eigenvalues of a particle in a 3-D box of dimensions (a, b, c) is given by
E (nx, ny, nz)
-2²² (²²² +²2² +²2²)
(a) Ten protons are confined in a box of dimension (a, 2a, a) on each side. Calculate the
total energy of the ground state of these ten protons if we assume that the protons
don't interact with each other.
(b) If the ten protons are replaced by 10 neutral hydrogen atoms in the ground state,
calculate the total energy resulting from the confinement. Again assume that the
hydrogen atoms do not interact with each other. You can treat the mass of proton and
hydrogen atom to be identical.
