What are its quantized energy levels?
2. A H2 molecule can be approximated by a simple harmonic oscillator having a spring constant k = 1.1 ? 103 N/m.
(a) How many different energy transitions are possible when the H2 molecule decays from the third excited state down to the ground state?
(b) Find the photon energies produced in these transitions and their wavelengths.
3. Let 10.0 eV electrons approach a potential barrier of height 4.4 eV.
