Question

. As we increase the quantum number of an electron in a one-dimensional, infinite potential well, what happens to the number of maximum points in the probability density function?

It increases.

It decreases.

It remains the same

Answer 1

It increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the electron to escape the photon needs energy is equal to the difference between initial and its non quantised region energy , then only it will be able to escape finite well.

E ∝ n^2

n= energy state quantum number

so if , n increases maximum point of probability density increases.
