A rectangular corral of widths Lx = L and Ly = 2L holds an electron.What multiple of h2/8mL2, where m is the electron mass, gives (a) the energy of the electron’s ground state, (b) the energy of its first excited state, (c) the energy of its lowest degenerate states, and (d) the difference between the energies of its second and third excited states?
This question is for modern physics and wave and particle:   (a) To how small a region must an electron be confined for borderline relativistic speeds – say, 0.05c – to become reasonably likely? (Ans: 3.9×10^−12m ) (b) On the basis of this, would you expect relativistic effects to be prominent for hydrogen’s electron, which has an orbit radius near 10-10? For a lead atom “inner-shell” electron of orbit radius 10-12m?
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?
