*24 Figure 39-30 shows a two-dimen-
sional, infinite-potential well lying in an
xy plane that contains an electron. We
probe for the electron along a line that
bisects L, and find three points at which
the detection probability is maximum. Figure 39-30 Problem 24.
Those points are separated by 2.00 nm.
Then we probe along a line that bisects L, and find five points at
which the detection probability is maximum. Those points are sep-
arated by 3.00 nm. What is the energy of the electron?
Compute the intrinsic line-width (Δλ) of the Lyman α line (corresponding to the n=2 to n=1) transition for the Hydrogen atom. You may assume that the electron remains in the excited state for a time of the order of 10^−8s. The line-width may be computed using:ΔE=(hc/λ^2)Δλ

gives the transmission coefficient T
for electron tunneling through a po-
tential barrier, plotted versus barrier
thickness L. The de Broglie wave-
lengths of the electrons are identical
in the three experiments. The only
difference in the physical setups is
the barrier heights U. Rank the
three experiments according to U,
