An electron is in a three-dimensional box with side lengths LX = 0.600 nm and LY = LZ = 2LX. What are the quantum numbers nX, nY, and nZ and the energies, in eV, for the four lowest energy levels? What is the degeneracy of each (including the degeneracy due to spin)?
Galaxies tend to be strong emitters of Lyman a photons (from the n = 2 to n = 1 transition in atomic hydrogen). But the intergalactic medium—the very thin gas between the galaxies—tends to absorb Lyman a photons. What can you infer from these observations about the temperature in these two environments? Explain.

- The emergence of line spectra from a gas when a current passes through it was an observed phenomenon waiting for an explanation in the early 20th century. The atomic line spectra coming from elements such as hydrogen had been analyzed since the late 19th century. By studying the wavelength of the emerging radiation of hydrogen, experimenters found (often by trial and error) that the wavelengths in those spectra were described by the formula 1 = R ( 1/2 - 1/2 ) where R is known as the Rydberg constant. It has a value of R=1.097 × 107 m-¹. The variables n₁ and no are integer numbers (n₁ = 1, 2, 3, 4, ...). As experiments continued, scientists began to see more and more characteristic lines emerging from the hydrogen spectrum. Each of them corresponded to a wavelength predicted by this formula with some integer values for m₁ and ₂.
