Assuming the Bohr model of the atom, an electron in Li2+ emits a photon of wavelength 13.5 nm for the transition n = 2 to n = 1. i) Treat the atom like an electron in a one-dimensional box. Find the width of a box that would allow the emission of a photon of wavelength 13.5 nm. ii) Determine the ground state energy of a box with the width you calculated in part i). iii) Comparing spacing between adjacent energy levels, state whether a one-dimension box is a suitable model for the Bohr atomic model.
