Suppose we have a box containing an electron with the lowest possible energy $E_{1}$. Imagine that we slowly squeeze the box, making its length $L$ smaller. What will happen to the electron's energy? The electron's energy will
A) Increase.
B) Decrease.
C) Remain the same.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The energy levels of an electron in a box are quantized and inversely proportional to the square of the box's length. As the box's length decreases, the energy levels, including the lowest possible energy $E_{1}$, increase.
