9.4 Exercise 7

Avg difficulty 2.5

What is the difference in energy between the nx=ny=nz=4n_{x} = n_{y} = n_{z} = 4 state and the state with the next higher energy? What is the percentage change in the energy between the nx=ny=nz=4n_{x} = n_{y} = n_{z} = 4 state and the state with the next higher energy? (b) Compare these with the difference in energy and the percentage change in the energy between the nx=ny=nz=400n_{x} = n_{y} = n_{z} = 400 state and the state with the next higher energy.
