Problem 6.80

An electron is located in a unidimensional square potential well with infinitely high walls. The width of the well equal to ll is such that the energy levels are very dense. Find the density of energy levels dN/dE,d N / d E, i.e. their number per unit energy interval, as a function of E.E . Calculate dN/dEd N / d E for E=1.0eVE=1.0 \mathrm{eV} if l=1.0 cml=1.0 \mathrm{~cm}.

Reveal Answer
 6.80. dN/dE=(l/π)m/2E; if E=1eV, then dN/dE==0.8107 levels per eV\begin{aligned} &\text { 6.80. } d N / d E=(l / \pi \hbar) \sqrt{m / 2 E} ; \text { if } E=1 \mathrm{eV}, \text { then } d N / d E=\\ &=0.8 \cdot 10^{7} \text { levels per } \mathrm{eV} \end{aligned}
