.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.

Figure 39-27 Problem 8.
We can approximate an electron moving in a nanowire (a small, thin wire) as a one-dimensional infi nite square-well potential. Let the wire be 2.0 μm long. The nanowire is cooled to a temperature of 13 K, and we assume the electron’s average kinetic energy is that of gas molecules at this temperature ( 3kT/2). (a) What are the three lowest possible energy levels of the electrons? (b) What is the approximate quantum number of electrons moving in the wire?
*24 Figure 39-30 shows a two-dimen-
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-
arated by 3.00 nm. What is the energy of the electron?
