Answer:

(a) 1.2703×10⁻⁷ m

(b) 4.7636×10⁻⁸ m

(c) 2.5406×10⁻⁸ m

Explanation:

Given:

Width of the infinite well, L = 340 pm = 340×10⁻¹² m.

The formula for energy of the electron in nth state is:

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

The expression for the difference in energy between the levels having quantum numbers n(initial) to n(final) is:

\Delta E_n=\frac {({n_f}^2-{n_i}^2)\times h^2}{8mL^2}

According to Planks theory:

E = hv

where, v is the frequency

Also,

Frequency×Wavelength = Speed of light

So,

E=\frac {hc}{\lambda}

\lambda=\frac {hc}{E}

Also,  using energy from above formula as:

\lambda=\frac {hc}{\frac {({n_f}^2-{n_i}^2)\times h^2}{8mL^2}}

\lambda=\frac {c\times {8mL^2}} {({n_f}^2-{n_i}^2)\times h}}

For longest wavelength ni = 1 and nf = 2

m= mass of the electron = 9.1 ×10⁻³¹kg

c = 3×10⁸m/s

h = 6.625×10⁻³⁴J.sec

\lambda_{Longest}=\frac {3\times 10^8\times {8\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}(340\times 10^{-12})^2}} {({2}^2-{1}^2)\times 6.625\times 10^{-34}}}

<u>Longest wavelength = 1.2703×10⁻⁷ m</u>

For second longest wavelength ni = 1 and nf = 3

\lambda_{Second\ Longest}=\frac {3\times 10^8\times {8\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}(340\times 10^{-12})^2}} {({3}^2-{1}^2)\times 6.625\times 10^{-34}}}

<u>Second longest wavelength = 4.7636×10⁻⁸ m</u>

For third longest wavelength ni = 1 and nf = 4

\lambda_{Third\ Longest}=\frac {3\times 10^8\times {8\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}(340\times 10^{-12})^2}} {({4}^2-{1}^2)\times 6.625\times 10^{-34}}}

<u>Third longest wavelength = 2.5406×10⁻⁸ m</u>

What are three effect of force​
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

1. Can change the state of an object(rest to motion/ motion to rest)

2. May change the speed of an object if it is already moving.

3. May change the direction of motion of an object.

Explanation: A force acting on an object causes the object to change its shape or size, to start moving, to stop moving, to accelerate or decelerate.
