A neutron is trapped in an infinitely deep potential well 1.6 fm in width.

A) Determine the four lowest possible energy states. [Note: This is a rough model of an atomic nucleus. E1, E2, E3, E4 =    MeV  

B) What is the energy of a photon emitted when the neutron makes a transition between the two lowest states?E =   MeV  

C) What is the wavelength of this photon? in m

D) In what region of the EM spectrum does this photon lie?
