An electron is in an infinite potential well 1 nm wide. (A). calculate the ground state energy in international units and electron volts. (B). What is the probability of finding an electron at a distance between 0.1 nm and 0.2 nm from one of the infinite walls?

Step 1
We know that the electron is in an infinite potential well, which means that the potential energy is zero inside the well and infinite outside the well. The width of the well is given as 1 nm. Show more…
