*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?
