Hi! I here's the question together with the figure you are asking for.

Consider an electron in the conduction band of GaAs in an infinite
potential well of width 20nm.
(a) Calculate the energies in (meV) associated with the transitions between the
five lowest levels (Ej, E3, E3, E4, E5).
Draw a diagram for the possible transitions (see Fig. 2.13 from our main
reference Levi).
Assume that the effective mass of GaAs is m² = 0.067m. (m. = electron
mass):
m
(b) Write the associated wavefunction for each of these five lowest level states

Fig. 2.13. Photon emission spectra of excited hydrogen consist of a discrete number of spectral
lines corresponding to transitions from high energy levels to lower energy levels. Different groups
of characteristic emission line spectra have been given the names of those who first observed
them.
