7.10 The blue solution formed when an alkali metal dissolves in liquid ammonia consists of the metal cations and electrons trapped in a cavity formed by ammonia molecules. (a) Calcu- late the spacing between the levels with n = 4 and n = 5 of an electron in a one-dimensional box of length 5.0 nm. (b) What is the wavelength of the radiation emitted when the electron makes a transition between the two levels?
