Show using the Born approximation that the condition for non-vanishing scattering is that the Bragg law be satisfied.

Below is a figure that depicts the potential energy of an electron (a finite square well), as well as the energies associated with the first two wave-functions. a) Sketch the first two stationary wavefunctions (solutions to the Schrődinger equation) for an electron trapped in this fashion. Pay attention to detail! Use the two dashed lines as x-axes. U(x) E2 E1 b) If the potential energy were an infinite square well (not finite well as shown above), what would the energy of the first two allowed energy levels be (i.e., E1 and E2). Write the expressions in terms of constants and a (the width of the wellI) and then evaluate numerically for a = 6.0*1010 m. [If you don't remember the formula, you can derive it by using E = h²k²/2m, together with the condition on À = 2a/n.] c) Let's say I adjust the width of the well, a, such that E1 = 3.5 ev. In that case, calculate the wavelength (in nanometers) of a photon that would be emitted in the electron's transition from E2 to E1. [Remember: hc =…
