We are going to use Heisenberg's uncertainty principle to estimate the ground-
state energy of hydrogen. In our model, the electron is confined in a one-
dimensional well with a length about the size of hydrogen, so that Ax = 0.0529
nm. Estimate Ap, and then assume that the ground-state energy is
roughly Ap2/2me. (Give your answer in Joules or electron-volts.)
An electron is trapped in an infinitely deep one-dimensional well of width 0,251 nm. Initially the electron occupies the n=4 state. Suppose the electron jumps to the ground state with the accompanying emission of photon. What is the energy of the photon?
An electron is in an infinite square well of width 2.0 nm. What is the wavelength of the emitted photon in nanometers as the electron transitions from the n=8 to the n=4 state? (h = 6.626 × 10-34 J ∙ s, mel = 9.11 × 10-31 kg, 1 eV = 1.60 × 10-19J). Please give your answer with no decimal places.
