What are the three lowest energy levels of the electrons

Reference no: EM13504426

We can approximate an electron moving in a nanowire as a one-dimensional infinite square-well potential. Let the wire be 2 μm long. The nanowire is cooled to a temperature of 13K and we assume the electrons average kinetic energy is that of gas molecules at this temperature ((3/2)kT).

a) What are the three lowest energy levels of the electrons?

b) What is the approximate quantum number of electrons moving in the wire?
