If we decrease the size of a quantum dot that contains an electron, what happens to the energy levels?

Physics

Law Incorporation [45]3 years ago

We will solve this problem using the direct concept related to band gap energy, that is, a band gap is the distance between the valence band of electrons and the conduction band, i. e, the energy range in a solid where no electron states (Electronic state) can exist Mathematically can be described as,

E_n = \frac{h^2n^2}{8mcR^2}

Where,

h = Planck's constant

n = Energy level

mc = Effective mass of the point charge

R = Size of the particle

As you can see the energy is inversely proportional to the size of the particle:

E_n \propto \frac{1}{R^2}

Therefore if the size is decreased, the amount of energy is increased.

Which of the following statements describes nucleons?
Yuliya22 [10]
The correct answer is D.

A nucleon<span> is one of either of the two types of subatomic particles (neutrons and protons) which are located in the nucleus of atoms.
</span>

The total number of nucleon in the nucleus of an atom gives you an idea about the mass of that atom. In fact, one may refer mass number as nucleon number.

Simply put, nucleons are the particles that make nucleus of an atom and are held up together inside the nucleus due to nuclear force.
