joules and in electron-volts).2oiloanut
An electron is moving past the square barrier shown in Fig. , but the energy of the electron is greater than the barrier height. If E = 2U0 , what is the ratio of the de Broglie wavelength of the electron in the region x 7 L to the wavelength for 0 6 x 6 L?
A sodium atom in one of the states labeled “Lowest excited levels” in Fig. remains in that state, on average, for 1.6 * 10-8 s before it makes a transition to the ground state, emitting a photon with wavelength 589.0 nm and energy 2.105 eV. What is the uncertainty in energy of that excited state? What is the wavelength spread of the corresponding spectral line?
