*24 Figure 39-30 shows a two-dimen-
sional, infinite-potential well lying in an
xy plane that contains an electron. We
probe for the electron along a line that
bisects L, and find three points at which
the detection probability is maximum. Figure 39-30 Problem 24.
Those points are separated by 2.00 nm.
Then we probe along a line that bisects L, and find five points at
which the detection probability is maximum. Those points are sep-
arated by 3.00 nm. What is the energy of the electron?
