Question

Consider translational motion of single O2 molecule (mass = 5.314 * 10-26 kg) trapped in one-dimensional box potential ("particle in a box), which has a width of 5 cm.

A) What is the energy difference between the two lowest quantized energy levels?

B) The amount of classical translational thermal energy for a molecule confined in one dimension is 1/2kT where T is the temperature and k is the Boltzmann constant (1.381 * 10-23 J/K). If the temperature is 300 K, at what value of n would the quantized O_{2} energy exceen the thermal energy?

C) Using the vaue of n from b), calculate the energy seperation between the adjacent levels (ie, n vs n+1)
