A hypothetical atom has two energy levels, with a transition wavelength between them of . In a particular sample at 300 K,such atoms are in a state of lower energy. (a) How many atoms are in the upper state, assuming conditions of thermal equilibrium? (b) Suppose, instead, that of these atoms are 鈥減umped鈥 into the upper state by an external process, with atoms remaining in the lower state. What is the maximum energy that could be released by the atoms in a single laser pulse if each atom jumps once between those two states (either via absorption or via stimulated emission)?
A pulsed laser emits light at a wavelength of 694.4 nm. The pulse duration is 12 ps, and the energy per pulse is 0.150 J. (a) What is the length of the pulse? (b) How many photons are emitted in each pulse?
Show that a moving electron cannot spontaneously change into an x-ray photon in free space. A third body (atom or nucleus) must be present. Why is it needed? (Hint: Examine the conservation of energy and momentum.)
What is the acceleration of a silver atom as it passes through the deflecting magnet in the Stern鈥揋erlach experiment of Fig. 40-8 if the magnetic field gradient is 1.4 T/mm?
For a helium atom in its ground state, what are quantum numbers for the (a) spin-up electron and (b) spin-down electron?
