An electron is trapped in an infinite square-well potential of width 0.6 nm. if the electron is initially in the n = 4 state, what are the various photon energies that can be emitted as the electron jumps to the ground state? (list in descending order of energy. enter 0 in any remaining unused boxes.)

E₁ = 1.042 eV

E₄₋₃= 7.29 eV      

E₄₋₂= 12.50 eV

E₄₋₁= 15.63 eV

E₃₋₂= 5.21eV

E₃₋₁= 8.34eV

E₂₋₁= 3.13eV

Explanation:

The energy in an infinite square-well potential is giving by:  

where, h: Planck constant = 6.62x10⁻³⁴J.s, n: is the energy state, m: mass of the electron and L: widht of the square-well potential      

The energy of the electron in the ground state, n = 1, is:  

The photon energies that are emitted as the electron jumps to the ground state is the difference between the states:

what experimental evidence led scientists to change from the previous model to this one?

a few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back.

the colors of light emitted from heated atoms had very specific energies.

experiments with water vapor showed that elements combine in specific proportions.

cathode rays were bent in the same way whenever a magnet was brought near them.
