Question: 3 . ( a ) An electron in a one - dimensional box requires the absorption of a photon with a wavelength of 8 0

3.(a) An electron in a one-dimensional box requires the absorption of a photon with a wavelength of 8080 nm to excite it from the n =2 to the n =3 energy level. Calculate the length of this box. Show your work and express your final answer in nanometers.
(b) An electron in a 10.0 nm one-dimensional box is excited from the ground state into a higher energy state by absorbing a photon of electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength of 1.374105 m. Determine the final energy state (i.e., quantum number) for this electronic transition.
(c) For a particle in the n =3 state of a one-dimensional box of length L, what is the total probability of finding the particle between x =0 and x = L/6. Show your work and rationalize your approach to receive full credit.
