Consider a proton that is confined within a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator potential. The oscillator has a spring constant of 1.5 N/m. Determine the energy values corresponding to the first three levels of the proton's energy within this system.

• A. E₀=2.1 meV, E₁=5.1 meV, E₂=49 meV
• B. E₀=2.1 meV, E₁=30 meV, E₂=11 meV
• C. E₀=9.9 meV, E₁=30 meV, E₂=49 meV
• D. E₀=9.9 meV, E₁=5.1 meV, E₂=49 meV

Answer: (C)
