An electron is bound in a square well of width 1.05 nm and depth U0=6E∞, where E∞ is the ground-state energy for an infinitely deep potential well.If the electron is initially in the ground level,  E1=0.625E∞ , and absorbs a photon, what maximum wavelength can the photon have and still liberate the electron from the well?
Three electrons are trapped in three different one-dimensional infinite potential wells of widths (a) 50 pm, (b) 200 pm, and (c) 100 pm. Rank the electrons according to their ground-state energies, greatest first.
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?
