Ten electrons, each of mass m_e are confined to a one dimensional box of size L . Assume that the electrons are non-interacting, obey the Pauli exclusion principle and can be described by de Broglie waves. Define =h^2 / 8 m_e and U₀ to be the ground state energy. Then
Options
- Athe total energy of the first excited state is U₀+11 / L^2
- BU₀=110 / L^2
- Cthe energy level of the highest occupied state is 100 / L^2 .
- DThe total energy of the second excited state is U₀+22 / L^2
