Suppose an electron is confined to a region of width 10 nm. The electron wave function forms

Question:

Suppose an electron is confined to a region of width 10 nm. The electron wave function forms a standing wave with nodes at the ends of the region. 

(a) What is the lowest-energy electron that can form such a standing wave? 

(b) What is the energy of an electron that forms a standing wave with three nodes (one at each end of the region and one in the middle)?
