Finding lowest energy level

Electron density probability graphs for the lowest energy level in the hydrogen atom. These diagrams represent the probability of finding an electron at any point in this energy level. 

On the utmost left-hand side (crystal field A = 0) we find the energy levels of the free ion. Many of these levels split into two or more levels for A 7 0, as for example in a solid. The lowest level, i.e. the ground state, coincides with the x-axis. For the free ion the levels are marked where S presents the total spin quantum... 

The mean of the experimental hole-size distribution (solid line) is larger than the mean of the distribution from LT9.0 analysis of the computer-generated spectrum (0.282 nm, dashed line). From this behavior we conclude that a part of the total discrepancy seems, however, to have a more fundamental reason. We speculate that when trapped by a larger complex hole, o-Ps can move within this hole and concentrate at that part of the hole which shows the highest openness (size and three-dimensionality). Here the localized o-Ps finds its lowest energy level within the hole. Less open parts of this complex hole may then appear underrepresented. This possible effect is not considered in molecular modeling. 

For an electron in a certain rectangular well with a depth of 20.0 eV, the lowest energy level lies 3.00 eV above the bottom of the well. Find the width of this well. Hint Use tan 6 = sin 6/ cos 6. 

As shown above, the heat capacity Cy (or at any rate that part of it which is due to the vibrations) may be expected to have a value of 3Jt whenever hvjkT 1. This would be so, even at the lowest temperatures, if Planck s constant h were zero, and this is the case in the classical or pre-quantum mechanics. In fact, classical theory leads to the expectation that, for any crystalline substance, Cy has the constant value of 3R per mole. This is contrary to experiment, and it is known that Cy usually diminishes below 3A, with fall of temperature, and seems to approach zero at the absolute zero. One of the early successes of the quantum theory consisted in finding the reason for this decrease in Cy which is quite inexplicable in classical theory. The explanation is implicit in the previous equations and is due to the fact that the oscillators can only take up finite increments of energy. When a system of oscillators is held at low temperature, most of them are in their lowest energy level, and a small rise oftemperature is insufficient to excite them to the next higher level. Therefore Cy, which measures the intake of energy per unit increase of temperature, is smaller than at higher temperature.
