Absorption Experiment (5 min)

In an experiment, microwaves are irradiated upon a double quantum well. An absorption peak is observed when electrons absorb a photon $ h\nu$ that matches the energy difference between the lowest state $ 1$ and the first excited state $ 2$ of the system. Plot the absorption peak photon energy as a function of the tunnel coupling $ T$ between both wells, when the energies in both wells are kept fixed.
