Study Notes
Laser Technology and Planck's Law
- LASER stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
- In 1917, Albert Einstein provided the mathematical expression for stimulated emission.
- The mathematical expression for Planck's law is: Bv(T) = (hv^3) / (c^2) * 1 / (e^(hv/kT) - 1).
- Theodore Maiman created the first working laser in 1960.
- The energy density of black body radiation at any frequency and temperature is given by: u(v,T) = (8πhv^3) / (c^3) * 1 / (e^(hv/kT) - 1).
- When an electron falls from one energy level to another, the energy output is given by: ΔE = hf, where hf is the energy of the emitted photon.
- Input energy raises an electron from one energy level to another, allowing it to transition to a higher energy state.
