Question: In your research on new solid - state devices, you are studying a solid - state structure that can be modeled accurately as an electron

In your research on new solid-state devices, you are studying a solid-state structure that can be modeled accurately as an electron in a one-dimensional infinite potential well (box) of width \( L \). In one of your experiments, electromagnetic radiation is absorbed in transitions in which the initial state is the \( n=1\) ground state. You measure that light of frequency \( f=9.6\times 10^{14}\mathrm{~Hz}\) is absorbed and that the next higher absorbed frequency is \(18.0\times 10^{14}\mathrm{~Hz}\).
Part A
Part B
Part C
What is the width \( L \) of the potential well?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
Correct
Part D
What is the longest wavelength in air of electromagnetic wave that can be absorbed by an electron if it is initially in the \(\boldsymbol{n}=1\) state?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
