An Electron in an Infinite Potential Well (A Box) Makes

Question 30

Essay

An electron in an infinite potential well (a box) makes a transition from the n = 3 level to the ground state and in so doing emits a photon of wavelength 20.9 nm. (c = 3.00 × 108 m/s, h = 6.626 × 10-34J ∙ s, mel = 9.11 × 10-31 kg)
(a) What is the width of this well?
(b) What wavelength photon would be required to excite the electron from its original level to the next higher one?
