Potential Wells

1. The ground state was 2.1 MeV regardless of a finite or infinite potential well.

2. The first excited state was 8.4 MeV for the infinite potential well. It is not possible for the 8.4 MeV to exist in the finite potential well.

3. The energy of the first excited state is higher in the infinite well than the finite because the wavelength is larger for the finite potential well which translates to lower energy.

4. When the potential well is lowered, the particle's energy is closer to the top of the potential well which means it can penetrate deeper

5. It will penetrate less
