We can model a general cyanine-type dye molecule as if it contained N electrons trapped in a “box”-like potential energy function, where N is some even integer. The energy of a single quanton in a box is given by En = E1n2, where n is an integer and E1 is the energy of the ground (n = 1) energy level. If for a given molecule there are four electrons trapped in the molecule’s “box,” what is the lowest possible total energy of those electrons?

A. Etot = E1 B. Etot = 4E1 C. Etot = 8E1 D. Etot = 10E1 E. Etot = 30E1
