Question

Four different particles are trapped in one dimensional wells with infinite potential at the walls and zero potential inside. The masses of the particles and their energy level, n , are given by:

1.  mass=m, n=1

2. mass=2m, n=2

3. mass =3m, n=3

4. mass=4m, n=2

All these wells have the same length L. Rank the kinetic energy of the particles in order of size, smallest to largest.

Group of answer choices

E3 <E1<E2<E4

E1 = E4 < E2 < E3

E4 <E3 <E2 = E1

E1 < E2 = E4 < E3

E1 < E2 = E3 <E4
