An electron is trapped in an infinitely deep one-dimensional well of width 0.288 nm. Initially the electron occupies the n = 4 state. (a) Suppose the electron jumps to the ground state with the accompanying emission of a photon. What is the energy of the photon? eV (b) Find the energies of other photons that might be emitted if the electron takes other paths between the n = 4 state and the ground state. 4 → 3 in eV 4 → 2 in eV 3 → 2 in eV 3 → 1 in eV 2 → 1 in eV
