Q. No. Question BT Level CO
A particle of mass m = 6.64×10⁻²⁷ kg (helium atom) in a
Q1. box L = 1.0 nm: find the wavelength λ₃ and energy E₃. BT3 4.5PH02O001.2
Given E₂ − E₁ = 0.300 eV for an electron in a 1D box,
Q2. determine the box length L. BT3 4.5PH02O001.2
A photon of energy 2.00 eV excites an electron from n=1
Q3. to n=2 in a box of length 0.80 nm. Find m (nearest BT3 4.5PH02O001.2
integer).
Two adjacent levels in a 1D box are separated by
1.50×10⁻²¹ J for a particle of mass 9.11×10⁻³¹ kg. Find L
Q4. and indicate which pair (n, n+1) gives this spacing BT3 4.5PH02O001.2
(smallest n).
An electron is confined to a one-dimensional box of side
1 Å. As a result, it has discrete energy values. Find the
Q5. wavelength of the radiation emitted by the electron if it BT3 4.5PH02O001.2
