1-Dimensional Particle in a Box Calculator.
Use this app to calculate energy levels, transition wavelengths and other properties for a one dimensional particle-in-a-box.
- To get started, enter your particle mass, box length, and number of electrons. The app will calculate the energy multiplier, the quantum number for the HOMO,
the HOMO and LUMO energies, and the HOMO/LUMO transition wavelength. It will also plot the HOMO wavefunction and probability density, and draw an
energy level diagram.
- You may also enter any two quantum numbers for a transition wavelength calculation.
- All properties will update automaticallly.
- Energies are calculated according to: En = (n2h2)/(8mL2)
- Wavelengths are calcuated according to: λ = hc/ΔE
This is the work of Dr. Mauricio Cafiero and may be used widely though atribution is appreciated.
