Question: In Fig. the solid line shows a simplified version of the potential energy of an electron in an argon atom. The dashed line shows the total energy of a particular electron.
a. Is this electron bound in the argon atom? How do you know?
b. What is the electron's kinetic energy when it is at 0.05nm?
c. What is the de Broglie wavelength of the electron when it is 0.25nm from the origin?
d. What is the electron's de Broglie wavelength when it is at the center of the atom?
