An electron is confined to move in the xy plane in a rectangle whose dimensions are Lx and Ly. That is, the electron is trapped in a two dimensional potential well having lengths of Lx and Ly. In this situation, the allowed energies of the electron depend on the quant numbers Nx and Ny, the allowed energies are given by
E = H^2/8Me ( Nx^2/ Lx^2 + Ny^2/Ly^2)
i) assuming Lx and Ly =L. Find the energies of the lowest for all energy levels of the electron
ii) construct an energy level diagram for the electron and determine the energy difference between the second exited state and the ground state?
