A particle in a certian finite potential energy well can have any of five quantized energy values and no more. Which of the following would allow it to have any of six quantized energy levels?
A) Increase the energy of the particle
B) Decrease the energy of the particle
C) Make the well shallower
D) Make the well deeper
E) Make the well narrower

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Making the well deeper would increase the potential energy barrier between the allowed energy levels, allowing for the possibility of an additional quantized energy level.
