In the microscopic view of electrical conduction in a copper wire, electrons are accelerated by an electric field and then collide with metal atoms after traveling about 3.4×10−8m. If an electron begins from rest and is accelerated by a field of 0.070 N/C, what is its speed when it collides with a metal atom?

An electron is trapped at a defect in a crystal. the defect may be modeled as a one-dimensional, rigid-walled box of width 1.00 nm. (a) sketch the wavefunctions and probability densities for the n 1 and n 2 states. (b) for the n 1 state, nd the probability of nding the electron between x1 0.15 nm and x2 0.35 nm, where x 0 is the left side of the box. (c) repeat (b) for the n 2 state. (d) calculate the energies in electron volts of the n 1 and n 2 states
