The ground state energy of an oscillating electron is 1.24 eV

The ground state energy of an oscillating electron is 1.24 eV. How much energy must be added to the electron to move it to the second excited state? The fourth excited state?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Assume the electron is confined in an infinite potential well.

The quantized energy values for the electron in such a well will be:

so, for ground state:

therefore, the 2nd excited state will have the energy,

and fourth excited state will then be:
