An electron is trapped in a two-dimensional region of ?? =??= 1.00x10-10 m (a typical atomic diameter). a. Find the energies of the ground state and first two excited states. b. How much energy must be supplied to excite the electron from the ground state to the second excited state? c. From the second excited state, the electron drops down to the first excited state. How much energy is released in this process?

An electron is placed in a region with a 1010 V/m electric field directed in the positive x-direction. The electron escapes this region after traveling 14.0 cm. What is the kinetic energy of the electron? What is the particle's velocity? Will a proton placed at the same initial position and traveling through a similar 14.0 cm path acquire the same amount of kinetic energy? Will the proton experience the same change in velocity? Why or why not? I have seen...

Given the existence of two-dimensional array double A[M][N], where M and N are #defined as the number of rows and columns, respectively, define a function named sqabsmax that accepts array A as an argument (i.e. input parameter) and returns the square of the maximum absolute value element in A. Use the const qualifier if appropriate. Only show the function definition. Do not write an entire program with a main function. Just write the definition for function sqabsmax. in C
