An electron confined to a box has the ground state energy of 2.4 eV.
What is the width of the box in units of nanometers?
To excite an electron in a one-dimensional box from its first excited state to its second excited state requires 23.05 eV.
What is the width of the box? Give your answer in nm.
We are going to use Heisenberg's uncertainty principle to estimate the ground-
state energy of hydrogen. In our model, the electron is confined in a one-
dimensional well with a length about the size of hydrogen, so that Ax = 0.0529
nm. Estimate Ap, and then assume that the ground-state energy is
roughly Ap2/2me. (Give your answer in Joules or electron-volts.)
