.8 O An electron is trapped in a one-dimensional infinite well
and is in its first excited state. Figure 39-27 indicates the five longest
wavelengths of light that the electron could absorb in transitions
from this initial state via a single photon absorption: A, = 80.78 nm,
A, = 33.66 nm, A = 19.23 nm, A, = 12.62 nm, and A, = 8.98 nm.

sional, infinite-potential well lying in an
xy plane that contains an electron. We
probe for the electron along a line that
bisects L, and find three points at which
the detection probability is maximum. Figure 39-30 Problem 24.
Those points are separated by 2.00 nm.
Then we probe along a line that bisects L, and find five points at
which the detection probability is maximum. Those points are sep-
