An electron is bound in a square well of width 1.50 nm and depth U0 = 6E1-IDW. If the electron is initially in the ground level and absorbs a photon, what maximum wavelength can the photon have and still liberate the electron from the well?
The work function of sodium is 2.3 eV. What is the longest wavelength that can causephotoelectric emission? What should be the stopping potential if the sodium atom isilluminated by light of λ = 400 nm?
An electron is confined to a one-dimensional region in which its ground-state (n = 1) energy is 1.95 eV.   What is the length L of the region? and what energy input is required to promote the electron to its first excited state?
