The nucleus of a typical atom is 5.0 fm (1 fm = 10 -5 m) in diameter.

Question:

The nucleus of a typical atom is 5.0 fm (1 fm = 10-5 m) in diameter. A very simple model of the nucleus is a one-dimensional box in which protons are confined. Estimate the energy of a proton in the nucleus by finding the first three allowed energies of a proton in a 5.0-fm-long box.
