Solve 1-D Potential Barrier: Electron, Width 8 Angstroms, Depth 12eV

[rajasekhar_09]

HI,all

This is rajasekhar ,
Please guide me how to solve below problem.

An electron moves in a one-dimensional potential of width 8 angstroms and depth 12eV then how to found number of bound states present?


Thanks&Regaurds

Start with solving (or looking up) the solution for the 1D potential well -- you can find the treatment in any introductory book on Quantum Mechanics. What are the bound states for such a system? How many are there? You'll need to relate these abstract answers to the numbers you mentioned.
