Consider an electron in a nanowire (approximated by a one-adimensional box) that goes from the state with n=5 to the state with n = 2. In doing so, it emits a photon with a frequency of 6.0 x 10^14 s^-1. Find the length of the wire in nm.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The energy equation for electron present in nanowire is as follows,
