Answer:
Explanation:
The energy of the particle in a square power well is given by the Schrödinger equation, with
E₁ = RA (h²/ 8m L²) n²
With h the Planck constant the mass of the particle, L the length of the box and n an integer starting 1
We find the energy for each situation presented
1) For the fundamental state n = 1
E₁ = RA (h/ 8m L²)
2) the first excited state corresponds to n = 2
E₂ = RA (h/ 8m L²) 2²
E₂ = E₁ 4
3) E₁ = RA (h/ 8m L²)
4) The length of the box is L = 2L
E’= RA (h’ / 8m (2L)²)
E’= RA (h’ / 8m L²) Ra ¼
E’= E₁ / 2
5) L = 2l first excited state
n = 2
E ’’ = RA (h/ 8m (2L)²2) 2²
E ’’ = RA (h ’/ 8m (L)²) 4/2
E ’’ = E₁ 2
All energies are in relation to the fundamental state (E1), milking from least to greatest
E1 / 2 <E1 = E1 <2E1 <4E1
4 <3 = 1 <5 <2
