Find the width L of a one-dimensional box for which the ground-state energy of an electron in the box equals the absolute value of the ground state of a hydrogen atom.
A proton is in a one-dimensional box of width 7.8 pm (1 pm = 1 x 10-¹2 m). The energy of the
proton is equal to the absolute value of the ground state of a hydrogen atom.
What state is the proton in?
A certain atom requires 3.0 eV of energy to excite an electron from the ground level to the first excited level. Model the atom as an electron in a box and find the width L of the box.
