0.05\,\text{nm}

. Estimate the minimum kinetic energy it must possess due to this confinement. (Take

h = 6.63\times10^{-34}\,\text{J\,s}

m_e = 9.11\times10^{-31}\,\text{kg}

1\,\text{eV} = 1.6\times10^{-19}\,\text{J}

.) (a)

7.6\,\text{eV}

(b)

38\,\text{eV}

(c)

3.8\,\text{eV}

(d)

1.9\,\text{eV}
