For a one-dimensional box, the energy is given by
where n is the quantum number,
m is the mass of the particle,
and L is the box length.
For ground state, n=1. Thus,
Also for the n=2 state, the energy will be
The difference in energy levels of n = 2 and n = 1 will be
Now, the difference in energy levels of n = 2 and n = 1 of a particle -in - a one-dimensional box is 9 units of energy
so,
The difference in energy levels of n = 3 and n =2 will be,
In the same units, the difference in energy levels of n = 3 and n =2 for the above system will be
= 15 units
Hence, the difference in energy levels of n = 3 and n =2 for the above system is 15 units.
