An electron is trapped in a one‑dimensional box that
is 501 nm501 nm wide. Initially, it is in
the 𝑛=2n=2 energy level but, after a photon is absorbed,
the electron is in the 𝑛=5n=5 energy level. What was the
wavelength of the absorbed photon?
wavelength:
mm
Eventually, the electron ends up in the ground state. As it does
so, one or more photons are emitted during those transitions. Find
the wavelengths of the least energetic and most energetic photons
that might be emitted during all the possible transitions to the
ground state.
wavelength of least energetic photon:
mm
