Estimate the energy of a proton


Question: The nucleus of a typical atom is 5.0 fm 1 fm =10^-15 m in diameter. A very simple model of the nucleus is a one-dimensional box in which protons are confined. Estimate the energy of a proton in the nucleus by finding the first three allowed energies of a proton in a 5.0 fm long box.
