Lecture

Electron Kinetic Energy Estimation

Description

This lecture discusses the approximate kinetic energy of an electron confined in a one-dimensional box and compares it with the exact zero-point energy. It explores uncertainty relations, position and momentum uncertainties, and the Schrödinger equation solution. Numerical applications estimate the electron's energy in a box of atomic scale and compare it with the electrostatic interaction energy with a proton. The probability of the electron being confined in an atomic nucleus is analyzed.
