Homework Statement
Find the energies of the second, third, fourth, and fifth levels for the three-dimensional cubical box. Which are degenerate?
Homework Equations
E = h^2/8mL^2 (n^2 sub x + n^2 sub y + n^2 sub z)
The Attempt at a Solution
The levels would be degenerate if one of them occupied two or more different states, or if two occupied the same state, correct?
I'm lost on what to use for n_subx, n_suby, and n_subz in the problem. I'm pretty sure it's not Pythagorean
