What is the ground-state energy of

(a) an electron and

(b) a proton

if each is trapped in a one-dimensional infinite potential well that is 200 wide?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The ground state energy of the electron in the infinite potential well is 9.36 eV .

(b) The ground state energy of the proton in the infinite potential well is 0.005 eV .

Step by step solution

01

Given data:

The width of the potential well is,

L=200pm=2001pm1m1012pm=210-10m

02

Energy in a potential well:

The ground state energy of a particle of mass min an infinite potential well of widthLis

E0=h28mL2 ..... (1)

Here, h is the Planck's constant having value

h=6.61034J.s

03

(a) Determining the ground state energy of the electron:

The mass of the electron is

me=9.110-31kg

From equation (1) the ground state energy of electron is

E0=6.610-34J.s289.110-31kg210-10m2=1510-191J1J1kgm2/s21J1s211kg11m2=1510-19J

The energy in electron volt is

E0=1510-191J0.6241019eV1J=9.36eV

The required energy is 9.36 eV .

04

(b) Determining the ground state energy of proton:

The mass of the proton is

mp=1.6710-27kg

From equation (I) the ground state energy of proton is

E0=6.610-34J.s281.6710-27kg210-10m2=0.008210-191J1J1kgm2/s21J1s211kg11m2=0.008210-19J

The energy in electron volt is

role="math" localid="1661763664410" E0=0.008210-191J0.6241019eV1J=0.005eV

Hence, the required energy is 0.005eV.

What must be the width of a one-dimensional infinite potential well if an electron trapped in it in the n=3 state is to have an energy of 4.7 eV ?

As Fig. 39-8 suggests, the probability density for the region

0 < x < L for the finite potential well of Fig. 39-7 is sinusoidal, being given by

2(x)=Bsin2kx , in which B is a constant. (a) Show that the wave function (x)

may be found from this equation is a solution of Schrodinger鈥檚 equation in its one-dimensional form. (b) Express an equation for that makes this true.

particle is confined to the one-dimensional infinite potential well of Fig. 39-2. If the particle is in its ground state, what is its probability of detection between (a) x=0andx=0.25L, (b) x=0.75Landx=L, and

(c) x=0.25Landx=0.75L?

In a simple model of a hydrogen atom, the single electron orbits the single proton (the nucleus) in a circular path. Calculate

  1. The electric potential set up by the proton at the orbital radius of52.0 pm
  2. The electric potential energy of the atom,
  3. The kinetic energy of the electron.
  4. How much energy is required to ionize the atom (that is, to remove the electron to an infinite distance with no kinetic energy)? Give the energies in electron-volts.

A hydrogen atom in a state having a binding energy (the energy required to remove an electron) of 0.85 eV makes a transition to a state with an excitation energy (the difference between the energy of the state and that of the ground state) of 10.2eV. (a) What is the energy of the photon emitted as a result of the transition? What are the (b) higher quantum number and (c) lower quantum number of the transition producing this emission?
