An electron is in the 4th excited state within a bound infinite square well with a finite length. It transitions to the lower state n = 3, emitting a photon of wavelength 368.0 nm.

a) Determine the width of the well.

b) Sketch the probability distribution of finding the electron in the n = 4 state, indicating where the most likely positions the particle will be found. What is the likelihood of finding the particle within the first half of the box?
