- 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.)arrow_forwardAn electron is confined to move in the xy plane in a rectangle whose dimensions are Lx and Ly. That is, the electron is trapped in a two dimensional potential well having lengths of Lx and Ly. In this situation, the allowed energies of the electron depend on two quantum numbers nx and ny and are given by E = h2/8me (nx2/Lx2 + ny2/Ly2)Using this information, we wish to find the wavelength of a photon needed to excite the electron from the ground state to the second excited state, assuming Lx = Ly = L.
