In an atom X, electrons absorb the energy from an external source. This energy “excites” the electrons from a lower-energy level to a higher-energy level around the nucleus of the atom. When electrons return to the ground state, they emit photons.
The figure below is the energy level diagram of atom X with three energy levels, E1 = 0.00eV, E2 = 1.78eV and E3 = 2.95eV. The ground state is considered 0 eV for reference. The transition of electrons takes place between levels E1 and E2.
- What wavelength of radiation is needed to excite the atom to energy level E2 from E1?
- Suppose the external source has a power of 100 W. What would be the rate of photon emission?

उत्तर
(1) To start the laser, the molecule will have to be excited from E1 to E3. The wavelength required is
λ = `("hc")/(Delta"E")`
= `(1.24 xx 10^(-6))/2.95`
= 420.3 nm
Laser transition takes place between E1 and E2. So the wavelength of the beam of laser-produced will be
λ = `("hc")/(Delta"E")`
= `(1.24 xx 10^(-6))/1.78`
= 696.6 nm
(2) energy of photon = 1.78 eV
= 1.78 × 1.602 × 10-19 J
= 2.8516 × 10-19 J
photons emitted per second = `"power (energy emitted per second)"/"energy of each photon"`
= `(100 "W")/(2.8516 xx 10^(-19) "J")`
= 3.506 × 1020
