Question

The expectation value of the electron's kinetic energy in the hydrogen ground state equals the magnitude of the total energy. What must be the width of a cubic infinite well, in terms of a0,a_0, for its ground state to have this same energy?

This question requires us to calculate the width of a cubic infinite well (L)(L) in terms of the Bohr radius (a0)(a_0), such that its ground state energy equals the expectation value of an electron's kinetic energy in the ground state of hydrogen.
