Question #80769

Derive an expression for calculating energy values corresponding n=3 for a particle in one dimensional box

Expert's answer

Answer on the question 80769 – Chemistry – Inorganic Chemistry

The main equation is (from Schrodinger equation):


E=n2π2h2/2ml2E = n^{2} \cdot \pi^{2} \cdot h^{2} / 2 \cdot m \cdot l^{2}

, where nn – is quantum number, hh – is Planka’s const, mm – mass of particle, ll – width of the potential well;

If we want the equation, where n=3n = 3, we will get:

Answer: E=9π2h2/2ml2E = 9 \cdot \pi^{2} \cdot h^{2} / 2 \cdot m \cdot l^{2};
