Question:

Refer to Exercise 1C.3. If one side of the box is twice that of the other, the energy levels are given by (n12 / L12 + n22 / L22) * h2/8 m.

Can any of these levels have identical energies? If so, find the values of the quantum numbers n1 and n2 for the lowest levels having identical energies.


Exercise 1C.3

The energy levels of a particle of mass m in a two-dimensional square box of side L are given by (n12 + n22) h2/8 mL2 . Do any of these levels have the same energy? If so, find the values of the quantum numbers n1 and n2 for the first three cases.
