An Electron Is Confined in a Harmonic Oscillator Potential Well

question 26

Multiple Choice

An electron is confined in a harmonic oscillator potential well.A photon is emitted when the electron undergoes a 3→1 quantum jump.What is the wavelength of the emission if the net force on the electron behaves as though it has a spring constant of 9.6 N/m? (m_el = 9.11 × 10^-31 kg, c = 3.00 × 10⁸ m/s,1 eV = 1.60 × 10^-19 J,h = 1.055 × 10^-34 J ∙ s,h = 6.626 × 10^-34 J ∙ s)

• A)290 nm
• B)150 nm
• C)190 nm
• D)580 nm
