The probability that the detector will find a particle in the ground state of the square well if the detector is centered on the midpoint of the well.

(b)

To determine

A typical nucleus is 10 x 10-15 m. Use the uncertainty principle to estimate the minimum momentum uncertainty for an electron in the nucleus. Repeat this calculation, assuming that the nucleus is instead a one-dimensional square well potential and find the ground state energy of an electron in that potential.
An electron is trapped in a one-dimensional region of width 0,05 nm. Find the three smallest possible values allowed for the energy of the electron.
