An electron is bound in a finite square well of width 2.00 nm and finite depth U0=6E?, where E?is the ground-state energy for an infinitely deep potential well that has the same width.

Part A

If the electron is initially in the ground state level of the finite square well, E1=0.625E?, and absorbs a photon, what maximum wavelength can the photon have and still liberate the electron from the finite well?

Express your answer numerically in meters using three significant figures.
