Consider an electron confined in a one-dimensional infinite potential well having a width
of 0.4 nm. (a) Calculate the values of three longest wavelength photons emitted by the
electron as it transitions between the energy levels inside the well [3 pts.]. (b) When the
electron undergoes a transition from the n = 2 to the n = 1 level, what will be its emitted
energy and wavelength [2 pts.]. To which region of the electromagnetic spectrum does
this wavelength belong?
