What is the range of frequencies in a 1 ns pulse of

(a) 1060nmInfrared laser light and

(b) 100MHzRadio waves?

(c) For which is the "uncertainty" in frequency, relative to its approximate value, larger?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a). f7.9107s-1 is the range of frequencies in a 1ns pulse of 1060nm infrared laser light.

(b). f7.9107s-1is the range of frequency.

(c). For radio waves, the uncertainty in frequency relative to its approximate value is larger.

Step by step solution

01

Concept of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle and formula of the speed of light, frequency, wavelength

Using uncertainty principleEth2

Where,Eis the uncertainty in energy,tis the uncertainty in time,his Planck鈥檚

constant.

Formula used,

c=f

where, is the speed of light, fis the frequency,is the wavelength.

02

Use Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle for calculation.

(a)

Time

t=1ns=110-9s

Wavelength

=1060nm=106010-9m

Therefore,

Eth2hfth22hfth4ft14f14t

Plugin the values

f14110-90.0791097.9107s-1

f7.9107s-1is the range of frequencies in a 1ns pulse of 1060nm infrared laser light.

03

Use Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle for calculation.

(b)

Time

t=1nst=110-9s

Frequency

f=100MHzf=100106Hz

Therefore,

Eth2hfth22hfth4ft14f14t

Plugin the values

f14110-90.0791097.9107s-1f7.9107s-1

f7.9107s-1 is the range in frequencies a 1ns pulse of 1060nm infrared laser light.

04

Use the formula  for calculation.

(c)

For infrared laser light.

Substitute the given value in the equation

f=cf=31081.0610-6f=2.831014s-1

The relative size of uncertainty in frequency to the approximate frequency can be find as:

ff=7.96101s-12.831014s-1ff=2.8110-7

For radio waves

ff=7.9610's-11108s-1ff=0.796

For radio waves, the uncertainty in frequency relative to its approximate value is 2.8110-7while for infrared laser light the uncertainty in frequency relative to its approximate value is 0.796.

Therefore, uncertainty in frequency relative to its approximate value is larger for radio waves.

(c) In each case, an uncertainty in momentum is introduced by the 鈥渆xperiment鈥 (i.e., passing through the slit). Specifically, what aspect of the momentum becomes uncertain, and how does this uncertainty compare with the initial momentum of each?

Equation (4-21) expresses a function (x)as a sum of plane waves, each with a coefficient A(k). Equation (4-22) finds the coefficients from the given function(x) . The equations aren't independent statements; in fact, one is the inverse of the other. Equation (4-22) givesA(k)when (x)is known, and (4-21) does the reverse. Example 4.7calculates A(k)from a specific(x). Show that when this A(k) is inserted into (4-21) , the original (x)is returned. Use the Euler formula and the symmetry properties of odd and even functions to simplify your work.
