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?
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?
A quantum particle in an infinitely deep square well has a wave function that is given by                                          ψ1(x) = √2/Lsin (πx/L)for 0 ≤ x ≤ L and is zero otherwise. (a) Determine the probability of finding the particle between x = 0 and x = 1/3L.(b) Use the result of this calculation and a symmetry argumentto find the probability of finding the particle between x = 1/3 L and x = 2/3 L. Do not re-evaluate the integral.
