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 1×10−14 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=1.67×10−27 kg ) (25 Marks)
