| FIGURE EX shows the wave function of an electron in a rigid box. The electron energy islocalid="1650137157775" . What is the energy, in localid="1650137162096" , of the next higher state?

The electrons in a rigid box emit photons of wavelengthduring the transition.
a. What kind of photons are they鈥攊nfrared, visible, or ultraviolet?
b. How long is the box in which the electrons are confined.
a. What is the probability that an electron will tunnel through aair gap from a metal to a STM probe if the work function is ?
b. The probe passes over an atom that is鈥渢all.鈥 By what factor does the tunneling current increase?
c. If a current change is reliably detectable, what is the smallest height change the STM can detect?
What is the probability that an electron will tunnel through a gap from a metal to a STM probe if the work function is ?
