Question:

(a) Find the wavelength of a particle in the ground state of a one-dimensional infinite square well of length L = 2 fm.

(b) Find the momentum in units of MeV/c for a particle with this wavelength.

(c) Show that the total energy of an electron with this wavelength is approximately E≈ pc.

(d) What is the kinetic energy of an electron in the ground state f this well? This calculation shows that if an electron were confined in a region of space as small as a nucleus, it would have a very large kinetic energy.
