Homework Statement
Use the relationship kinetic energy E = p^2/2m to show that the energy [itex]E_{0}[/itex] of an electron of mass m in its lowest energy state is given by [itex]E_{0}[/itex] = h^2/8mL^2
Homework Equations
E = p^2/2m
[itex]E_{0}[/itex] = h^2/8mL^2
The Attempt at a Solution
I've stared at this for far too long, googled it to death as well as checked through all my course materials and I can't seem to get started with it. Any ideas at all would be welcome.
Thank you in advance,
