.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.
What is the width of the potential well?
