We can approximate an electron moving in a nanowire (a small, thin wire) as a one-dimensional infi nite square-well potential. Let the wire be 2.0 μm long. The nanowire is cooled to a temperature of 13 K, and we assume the electron’s average kinetic energy is that of gas molecules at this temperature ( 3kT/2). (a) What are the three lowest possible energy levels of the electrons? (b) What is the approximate quantum number of electrons moving in the wire?
An electron is confined to a narrow evacuated tube of length 3.0 m; the tube functions as a one-dimensional infinite potential well. (a) What is the energy difference between the electron’s ground state and its first excited state? (b) At what quantum number n would the energy difference between adjacent energy levels be 1.0 eV—which is measurable, unlike the result of (a)? At that quantum number, (c) what multiple of the electron’s rest energy would give the electron’s total energy and (d) would the electron be relativistic?
An electron is trapped in a one-dimensional region
of length 1.00 x 10-10 m (a typical atomic diameter).

excited states. (b) How much energy must be supplied
to excite the electron from the ground state to the sec-
ond excited state? (c) From the second excited state, the
