Problem

For a particle in a one-dimensional infinite potential well of width LL, let E32E_{32} be the energy of the photon emitted when the particle falls from the n=3n=3 state to the n=2n=2 state, and let E21E_{21} be the photon energy for the transition from n=2n=2 to n=1n=1. Determine the ratio E32E21\dfrac{E_{32}}{E_{21}}.
