Step 1
The energy levels are given by the formula: E_n = (n^2 * h^2) / (8mL^2), where n is the quantum number, h is Planck's constant, m is the mass of the electron, and L is the width of the well. Show more…

An electron is trapped in an infinitely deep one-dimensional well of width $0.251 \mathrm{nm}$. Initially the electron occupies the $n=4$ state. ( $a$ ) Suppose the electron jumps to the ground state with the accompanying emission of a photon. What is the energy of the photon? (b) Find the energies of other photons that might be emitted if the electron takes other paths between the $n=4$ state and the ground state.
