Questions and Answers

What is the characteristic of laser light related to its wavelength?

Monochromatic, meaning it has a single wavelength.

How does the energy from a photon interact with matter?

It supplies energy, causing the system to transition to an excited state.

What happens when the system de-excites from a higher energy state to a lower energy state?

A photon with lesser energy is emitted due to the loss of energy through vibrational and/or rotational motion.

What is the ratio of the number of atoms in the E2 state to the number of atoms in the E1 state under thermal equilibrium?

<p>N2/N1 = g2/g1e^(-(E2-E1)/kBT)</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is the condition for a system with only two energy levels?

What is the main difference between spontaneous and stimulated emission?

<p>Spontaneous emission occurs without the presence of an external photon, while stimulated emission requires the presence of a photon of the same energy.</p> Signup and view all the answers
