An emission line of the CO molecule corresponding to a transition from its first excited state into the ground state is observed at a frequency of 115 GHz (Gigahertz). What is the wavelength of this emission line in units of mm?
A crystal has some negative ion vacancies, each containing one electron. Treat these electrons as moving freely inside a volume whose dimensions are of the order of lattice constant. Assuming the value of lattice constant, estimate the longest wavelength of electromagnetic radiation absorbed by these electrons.
A three-level laser emits a light of wavelength of 5500 Å. What will be the ratio of population of upper level (E2) to the lower level (E1) if the optical pumping mechanism is shut off (Assume T = 300 K)? At what temperature for the above condition the ratio of population will be half? [kB = 1.38 × 10-23 JK-1]
