Iron has the greatest binding energy per nucleon at about 8.8 MeV. A neutron with this ground-state energy is to be confined in a region of space. Determine the width of the region. The radius of the iron nucleus is about 4 femtometer. How does the width of the box compare to the radius of the iron nucleus?
