Suppose We Have a Quantum System of an Unknown Type ΔE\Delta E

Question 58

Multiple Choice

Suppose we have a quantum system of an unknown type. We find that a certain amount of energy ΔE\Delta E moves this system from its lowest possible energy to its second-lowest energy, but 527ΔE\frac{5}{27} \Delta E is required to get it to its next higher energy. Is this quantum system a quanton in a box, a hydrogen atom, or a simple harmonic oscillator?


A) A quanton in a box.
B) A hydrogen atom.
C) A simple harmonic oscillator.
D) The stated facts are inconsistent with all of these models.
