Three electrons are in a one-dimensional rigid box (i.e., an infinite potential well) of length 0.50nm. Two are in the n = 1 state and one is in the n = 6 state. The selection rule for the rigid box allows only those transitions for which n is odd.

a. Draw an energy-level diagram. On it, show the filled levels and show all transitions that could emit a photon.

b. What are all the possible wavelengths that could be emitted by this system?

a. Find an expression in terms of τfor the half-life t1/2of a sample of excited atoms. The half-life is the time at which half of the excited atoms have undergone a quantum jump and emitted a photon.

b. What is the half-life of the 3pstate of sodium?

When all quantum numbers are considered, how many different quantum states are there for a hydrogen atom withn=1? Withn=2? Withn=3? List the quantum numbers of each state.

Identify the element for each of these electron configurations. Then determine whether this configuration is the ground state or an excited state.
