Particle in a Box: the Lowest Energy Level of a Particle

question 6

Short Answer

Particle in a box: The lowest energy level of a particle confined to a one-dimensional region of space (a box, or infinite well) with fixed length L is E₀. If an identical particle is confined to a similar region with fixed length L/ 6, what is the energy of the lowest energy level that the particles have in common? Express your answer in terms of E₀.
