1. Consider an xenon atom confined to a line of length 291.0 pm, which is roughly the diameter of a C70 molecule. What is the energy difference for this atom, in Joules, between the n=4 and n=3 energy levels? Include units in your answer, and use X.XXeXX for the answer format.

2. Now consider the same atom confined to a line of length 6.00 cm, which is roughly the diameter of a small test tube. What is the energy difference for this atom, in Joules, between the n=4 and n=3 energy levels? Include units in your answer, and use X.XXeXX for the answer format.

Classically, if you put a particle in a box, it can have Zero kinetic energy (ie the particle is not moving). But a quantum particle always has some kinetic energy. The difference between the lowest value of the potential energy and the energy of the lowest energy eigenstate is called the Zero Point Energy. Consider a 1D box that is one nanometer in length. What is the zero point energy for an electron, a proton, a methane molecule, and a gold atom in Joules? Which of these deviates the most from a classical particle?
