4 The Nuclear Potential Energy That Binds Protons And Neutrons In A Nucleus Is Often Approximated By A Square Well Ima 1 (28.48 KiB) Viewed 30 times

4. The nuclear potential energy that binds protons and neutrons in a nucleus is often approximated by a square well. Imagine a proton confined in an infinitely high square well of length 1 x 10-14 m, a typical nuclear diameter. Assuming the proton makes a transition from the first excited state n =2 to the ground state n = 1, calculate (a) the energy and the wavelength of the emitted photon. (b) Identify the region of the electromagnetic spectrum to which this wavelength belongs. (The mass of a proton is mp : 1.67 x 10-27 kg) = (25 Marks)
