A 10 g marble is in a 1-D box of 10 cm. Assuming infinitely hard
walls, (a) find its permitted energies (in J) and (b) the corresponding
quantum number for the marble moving at 30 cm/s.
Whether the energy gap for a system decreases, is constant, or increases as the initial quantum number for the transition increases can be determined by calculating the second derivative of the energy level expression with respect to the quantum number.
Calculate the second derivative with respect to the quantum number of the energy level expression for a linear rotor, EJ = hBJ(J+1) and also for the harmonic oscillator, Ev = hυ\upsilonυ(v+1/2).
A LASER works only because a state referred to as a population inversion is created, in which the population of the excitedstate is greater than the population of the ground state. For this reason, which of the following must be present for a functionallaser to exist?a) a photon pump to provide stimulating photons;b) an electrical discharge to provide for population of the excited state;c) a metastable excited state;d) a four-level energy state system, where the lifetime in the second lowest excited state is extremely brief;e) a carborundum rod containing Cr(III) species trapped in an Al2O3 matrix.

The cavity is essentially a region between two mirrors, which reflect the light back and forth. This arrangement can be regarded as a version of the particle in a box, with the particle now being a photon. As in the treatment of a particle in a box (Topic 7D), the only wavelengths that can be sustained satisfy n × 1/2λ = L, where n is an integer and L is the length of the cavity. That is, only an integral number of half-wavelengths fit into the cavity; all other waves undergo destructive interference with themselves. These wavelengths characterize the resonant modes of the laser. For a laser cavity of length 1.00 m, calculate (a) the allowed frequencies and (b) the frequency difference between successive resonant modes.arrow_forwardIs it necessary for a laser material to have at least three energy levels?
