Draw an energy level diagram for a nonrelativistic particle confined inside a three-dimensional cube-shaped box, showing all states with energies below 15· (h2/8mL2). Be sure to show each linearly independent state separately, to indicate the degeneracy of each energy level. Does the average number of states per unit energy increase or decrease as E increases?
