When a particle is restricted to move along \(x\)-axis between \(x=0\) and \(x=a\), where \(a\) is of nanometer dimension, its energy can take only certain specific values. The allowed energies of the particle moving in such a restricted region, correspond to the formation of standing waves with nodes at its ends \(x=0\) and \(x=a\). The wavelength of this standing wave is related to the liner momentum \(p\) of the particle according to the de Broglie relation. The energy of the particle of mass \(m\) is related to its linear momentum as \(E=\frac{p^2}{2 m}\). Thus, the energy of the particle can be denoted by a quantum number \(n\) taking values \(1,2,3, \ldots(n=1\), called the ground state) corresponding to the number of loops in the standing wave.

Two cotton plugs, one soaked in \(\mathbf{X}\) and the other soaked in \(\mathbf{Y}\), are simultaneously placed at the ends of a tube of length \(L=24 \mathrm{~cm}\), as shown in the figure. The tube is filled with an inert gas at \(1\) atmosphere pressure and a temperature of \(300 \mathrm{~K}\).
