To determine

To find:

a) Is the energy of the ground state of the trapped electron multiplied by  4, 2,12,14  or some other number?

b) Are the energies of the higher energy states multiplied by this factor or by some other factor, depending on their quantum number?

The ground-state energy of an electron trapped in a onedimensional infinite potential well is 2.6 eV.What will this quantity be if the width of the potential well is doubled?
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?
Assuming a pendulum to behave like a quantum oscillator, what are the energy differences between the quantum states of a pendulum of length 1 m? Are such differences observable?
