A particle is restricted to a one-dimensional box of length L. It absorbs a photon whose wavelength is 5.00 nm and jumps from the ground state to the n = 6 level. It then jumps back to the n = 3 state. Determine the wavelength (in nm) of the emitted photon.
An electron confined to a box absorbs a photon with wavelength λ. As a result, the electron makes a transition from the n = 1 state to the n = 3 state. (a) Find the length of the box. (b) What is the wavelength λ' of the photon emitted when the electron makes a transition from the n = 3 state to the n = 2 state?
An electron is trapped in a one-dimensional box that is 501 nm wide. Initially, it is in the n = 3 energy level but, after a photon
is absorbed, the electron is in the n = 6 energy level. What was the wavelength of the absorbed photon?
wavelength: .0306
Eventually, the electron ends up in the ground state. As it does so, one or more photons are emitted during those transitions.
Find the wavelengths of the least energetic and most energetic photons that might be emitted during all the possible transitions
to the ground state.
wavelength of least energetic photon:
wavelength of most energetic photon:
