A flashlamp pumps one third of the atoms of a two-level system into the excited state. a. Will it lase? b. If the same flashlamp pumps a three-level system with the same saturation intensity, what fraction of the atoms will be excited into level 2? c. Will it lase? d. What about a four-level system? e. Which of these systems will lase if the pump intensity is much larger than the saturation intensity?

Consider two identical boxes filled with hydrogen atoms. The atoms in Box A are illuminated by a beam of ultraviolet light, while the atoms in Box B collide with a beam of electrons. The light has a wavelength of 97.3 nm in vacuum. Each electron in the electron beam has the same energy as each photon in the beam of light. For electrons, the potential energy levels are the difference between the excited energy state that the atom is knocked...

Consider two non-interacting particles in an infinite square well. One is in a state ψm, the other in a state ψn with n≠m. Let’s assume that ψm and ψn are the ground state and 1st excited state respectively and that the two particles are identical fermions. The well is of width 1Å. What is the probability of finding a particle in the 1st excited state in a region of width 0.01Å? Does this change if the particles are distinguishable?
