This is an interactive homework relating to quantum physics. It requires the student to determine the 4th lowest energy level of an electron trapped in a three-dimensional cavity when the potential inside the cavity is zero and infinity outside. A user-activated "help" sequence is provided for each step of the problem-solving, from conceptual analysis through quantitative calculation. To promote critical thinking, immediate feedback is received for both correct and incorrect responses.
