Is the electron's energy changed when the infinite potential wall moves?

In summary, the movement of the infinite potential wall does not directly affect the energy of an electron. The energy of an electron is determined by its position and the potential energy of its surroundings. Moving the infinite potential wall will only change the potential energy of the electron, not its actual energy. The energy of an electron remains constant as long as the potential energy of its surroundings remains unchanged. The movement of the infinite potential wall does not affect the energy of the electron. However, the energy of an electron can still be measured while the infinite potential wall is in motion, but it will not be affected by the movement.

we know the electron's energy in the the infinite potential walls whose distance is L.

If the infinite potential wall moves suddenly, will the electron's energy be changed?

Related to Is the electron's energy changed when the infinite potential wall moves?

1. How does the movement of the infinite potential wall affect the energy of an electron?

The movement of the infinite potential wall does not directly affect the energy of an electron. The energy of an electron is determined by its position and the potential energy of its surroundings.

2. Can the energy of an electron be changed by moving the infinite potential wall?

No, the energy of an electron is determined by its position and the potential energy of its surroundings. Moving the infinite potential wall will only change the potential energy of the electron, not its actual energy.

3. Is the energy of an electron constant when the infinite potential wall is in motion?

Yes, the energy of an electron is constant as long as the potential energy of its surroundings remains unchanged. The movement of the infinite potential wall does not affect the energy of the electron.

4. What happens to the energy of an electron when the infinite potential wall is in motion?

The energy of an electron remains unchanged when the infinite potential wall is in motion. The potential energy of the electron may change, but its actual energy remains constant.

5. Can the energy of an electron be measured while the infinite potential wall is in motion?

Yes, the energy of an electron can be measured while the infinite potential wall is in motion. However, it is important to note that the energy of the electron will not be affected by the movement of the infinite potential wall.
