Modern Physics 1 Question 33

30. If the mass of the particle is $m=1.0 \times 10^{-30} kg$ and $a=6.6 nm$, the energy of the particle in its ground state is closest to

(2009)

(a) $0.8 meV$

(b) $8 meV$

(c) $80 meV$

(d) $800 meV$

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. From Eq. (i) $E=\frac{n^{2} h^{2}}{8 a^{2} m}$

In ground state $n=1$

$$ \therefore \quad E _1=\frac{h^{2}}{8 m a^{2}} $$

Substituting the values, we get

$$ E _1=8 meV $$
