Mathematically explain the physics behind chemotherapy and how particle and photon radiation is used to treat the cancer patients.
A buckyball consists of 60 carbon atoms arranged in the form of a hollow ball. Say that we illuminate a free, initially non-rotating buckyball with visible light with the intensity of sunlight (1000 W / m2) whose photons all have their spins aligned with their direction of motion. About how long after the illumination begins will the buckyball (on the average) be spinning a million times per second, assuming it absorbs all the light falling on it? (Hints: look in a periodic table to see the mass of a mole of carbon atoms, and remember that Avogadro's number is 6.02 x 1023. Estimate the average wavelength of visible light. You should find that you don't need to know the buckyball's radius.)
Explain with neat diagrams absorption, spontaneous emission, stimulated emission of radiation and populationinversion
