Question

Calculate the lowest energy (in ev) for an electron in an infinite well having a width of 0.050 mm.

Answer 1

The lowest energy of electron in an infinite well is 1.2*10^-33J.

To find the answer, we have to know more about the infinite well.

What is the lowest energy of electron in an infinite well?

• It is given that, the infinite well having a width of 0.050 mm.
• We have the expression for energy of electron in an infinite well as,

                  $E_n=\frac{n^2h^2}{8mL^2}$

• where;

                $m=9.1*10^{-31}kg\\L=0.050*10^{-3}m\\h=6.63*10^{-34}Js\\n=1$

• Thus, the lowest energy of electron in an infinite well is,

                $E_1=\frac{(6.63*10^{-34})^2}{8*9.1*10^{-31}*(0.050*10^{-3})}=1.2*10^{-33}J$

Thus, we can conclude that, the lowest energy of electron in an infinite well is 1.2*10^-33J.
