Question 2

An electron is confined in a harmonic oscillator potential well. A photon is emitted when the electron undergoes a 31 quantum jump.
 
  What is the wavelength of the emission if the net force on the electron behaves as though it has a spring constant of 9.6 N/m? (mel = 9.11  10-31 kg, c = 3.00  108 m/s, 1 eV = 1.60  10-19 J, h = 1.055  10-34 J  s, h = 6.626  10-34 J  s)
  A) 290 nm
  B) 150 nm
  C) 190 nm
  D) 580 nm
