(9) When radiation interacts with a semiconductor resulting in
stimulated emission, the
wavelength of the output radiation is ( )
(A) Half the wavelength of the incident radiation
(B) Two times the wavelength of the incident radiation
(C) May be higher or lower than that of the incident radiation,
depending on the material
(D) Same as the wavelength of the incident radiation
Please answer these three questions
(1)
In what ways are the photons emitted during stimulated emission
related to the incident (stimulating) photons?
(2)
What conditions must a collection of atoms meet in order to amplify
an incident beam of light?
(3)
Very briefly describe how these requirements are met in a
helium
Spectral Absorption and Emission
Consider a hydrogen atom with an electron initially in the n = 4
state.
a) List the 3 different wavelengths that could be observed in
the emission spectrum for this atom given the electron begins in
level n = 4.
b) What is the longest wavelength photon that could potentially
be absorbed by the electron in the level n = 4?
c) How much energy would be required to ionize this atom?
d) What is the...
What are the quantum mechanisms behind the emission and
absorption of thermal radiation at and below room temperature? If
the relevant quantum state transitions are molecular (stretching,
flexing and spin changes) how come the thermal spectrum is
continuous? What about substances (such as noble gases) which don't
form molecules, how do they emit or absorb thermal radiation? Is
there a semi-classical mechanism (with the EM field treated
classically) and also a deeper explanation using the full apparatus
of QFT?
