Suppose we have a quantum system of an unknown type. We find that a certain amount of energy ?E moves this system from its lowest possible energy to its second-lowest energy, but ?E is required to get it to its next higher energy. Is this quantum system a quanton in a box, a hydrogen atom, or a simple harmonic oscillator?

A. A quanton in a box. B. A hydrogen atom. C. A simple harmonic oscillator. D. The stated facts are inconsistent with all of these models.
