An electron (mass m) is contained in a cubical box of
widths Lx = Ly =
Lz = L. It emits and absorbs light by
making transitions among the lowest five energy levels.
(a) How many different frequencies of light could
the electron emit or absorb if it makes a transition between a pair
of the lowest five energy levels? What multiple of
h/8mL2 gives the (b)
lowest, (c) second lowest, (d)
third lowest, (e) highest, (f)
second highest, and (g) third highest
frequency?
