The wavelength of light emitted by a ruby laser is 694.3 nm. Assuming that the emission of
a photon of this wavelength accompanies the transition of an electron from the n = 2 level
to the n = 1 level of an infinite square well, compute the length L of the well.
An electron in an infinitely deep square well has a wave function that is given by ψ3(x) = √2/Lsin (3πx/L)for 0 ≤ x ≤ L and is zero otherwise. (a) What are the most probable positions of the electron? (b) Explain how you identify them.
