hi guys, is it possible for electron to have zero K.E in a confined region in space?
My guessed is, due to the wave nature of electron, if electron were to possesses zero KE, its wavelength will have to approach infinity since p = h / wavelength.
therefore its not possible for electron to have zero KE in a confined space.
But it can possesses zero K.E in space that is not confined.
