An electron is trapped in a one-dimensional infinite well of width 250 pm and is in its ground state.What are the (a) longest, (b) second longest, and (c) third longest wavelengths of light that can excite the electron from the ground state via a single photon absorption?
Describe the wave functions for the atom, and note how this necessitates the creation of new variables.
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?
