An electron is in a certain energy state in a one-dimensional,infinite potential well from x=0 to x=L=200 pm. The electron’s probability density is zero at x=0.300L, and x=0.400L;it is not zero at intermediate values of x. The electron then jumpsto the next lower energy level by emitting light.What is the changein the electron’s energy?

For ultrarelativistic particles such as photons or high-energy electrons, the relation between energy and momentum is not E = p2/2m but rather E = pc. (This formula is valid for massless particles, and also for massive particles in the limit E » mc2.) Estimate the minimum energy of an electron confined inside a box of width 10-15 m. It was once thought that atomic nuclei might contain electrons; explain why this would be very unlikely.
