is , ψ(𝑥) = √ sin ( ). Find the expectation values x and x 2 . What is the standard
𝐿 𝐿

deviation of position, 𝜎𝑥 ?
3. Using the particle in the box model, calculate the energy levels of the π-network in n-hexatriene,
C6H8, To calculate the box length, assume that the molecule is linear and use the values 135 and
154 pm for C=C and C–C bonds. What is the wavelength of light required to induce an electron
transition from the HOME state to the excited LUMO state?
