- Photons released by nuclear decays tend to be in the MeV range, and atomic nuclei are a few femtometers (10-15 m) across. If a single proton trapped in an inescapable rectangular box releases a 1.3 MeV photon when dropping from the n = 2 to the n = 1 state, how wide is the box, in femtometers? You should find that this quick and dirty estimate is remarkably close to the real size of a nucleus! The proton mass is about 1.7 x 10-27 kg. 1 MeV = 1.6 x 10-13 J.
