What is the quantum number of the particle in FIGURE Q40.4? How can you tell?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The quantum number of the particle is6.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

We need to find the quantum number of the particle.

02

Simplify

Now, find the quantum number of the particle on the picture.

therefore, n=6because there are six peaks.
