Investigators have created structures consisting of linear chains of ionized atoms on a smooth surface. Electrons are restricted to travel along the chain. The energy levels of the electrons match the results of the particle-in-a-box model. For a 5.0-nm-long chain, what are the energies (in eV) of the first three states?
An electron is in a three-dimensional box. The xx- and zz-sides of the box have the same length, but the yy-side has a different length. The two lowest energy levels are 2.18 eVeV and 3.47 eVeV, and the degeneracy of each of these levels (including the degeneracy due to the electron spin) is two.
What is the length LY for side of the box?
What are the lengths LXLX, LZLZ for sides of the box?
