Question
An electron is in a potential well that is 0.400 nm wide. (a) Find the ground-level energy of the electron E1-IDW, in eV, if the potential well is infinitely deep. (b) If the depth of the potential is only 0.015 eV, much less than E1-IDW, there is only one bound state. Find the energy, in eV, of this bound state.
