1. The problem statement, all variables andgiven/known data
Know how to find energy levels in infinite wells

Homework Equations


Good Question

Is it: n^2h^2/8mL^2

3. The Attempt at a Solution

So I am taking a test later today, and it was brought to my attention "know how to find energy levels in infinite wells". I started looking through my book and there is like 50 equations on it. Which formula do you think would be used given that type of info? Or what type of question would I see?

This is for a Physics 2 in College.

I'm not sure if your post is suitable for the homework subforum, but to offer immediate guidance, you have to memorize the fomula for the energy levels and know what ground state, first excited state, etc. means. You also need to know that the ground state corresponds to ##n=0## and what the zero point energy means.
