Chapter 40, Problem 26P

To determine

To calculate:

(a) the first excited state of the 8-electron system in a given box, in multiples of $\frac{h^2}{8 m L^2}$.

(b) the second excited state of the 8-electron system in a given box, in multiples of $\frac{h^2}{8 m L^2}$.

(c) the third excited state of the 8-electron system in a given box, in multiples of $\frac{h^2}{8 m L^2}$.

Then

(d) Construct an energy-level diagram for the lowest four energy levels.
