Answer to Problem 44E

The photon of energy emitted is 1081eV.

Explanation of Solution

Write the expression for energy of diatomic molecule.

    En=n(n+1)22I        (I)

Here, En is the energy of nth level, n is the number of level, is the reduced Planck’s constant and I is the moment of inertia.

Write the expression for change in energy due to transition.

    ΔE=E2E0        (II)

Conclusion:

Substitute 2 for n, 1.055×1034Js for and 1.92×1046kgm2 for I in equation (I).

    E2=2(2+1)(1.055×1034Js)22(1.92×1046kgm2)=2(3)(1.055×1034Js)22(1.92×1046kgm2)(1kgm2s21J)=1.73×1022J(1eV1.6×1019J)=1081eV

 Substitute 0 for n, 1.055×1034Js for and 1.92×1046kgm2 for I in equation (I).

    E0=(0)(0+1)(1.055×1034Js)22(1.92×1046kgm2)=0

Substitute 1081eV for E2 and 0eV for E0 in equation (II)>

    ΔE=1081eV0eV=1081eV

Thus, the energy of photon emitted is 1081eV.

Answer to Problem 44E

The wavelength of photon emitted is 11.49nm.

Explanation of Solution

Write the expression for energy of photon emitted.

    E=hcλ

Here, E is the energy of photon, h is Planck’s constant, c is the speed of light and λ is the wavelength.

Rearrange the above expression for λ.

    λ=hcE        (III)

Conclusion:

Substitute 6.626×1034Js for h, 3×108ms1 for c and 1081eV for E in equation (III).

    λ=(6.626×1034Js)(3×108ms1)1081eV=(6.626×1034Js)(3×108ms1)1081eV(1kgm2s21J)(1eV1.6×1019J)=1.149×108m(1nm109m)=11.49nm

Thus, the wavelength of photon emitted is 11.49nm.

Paraxial design of a field flattener. Imagine your optical system has Petzal curvature of the field with radius p. In Module 1 of Course 1, a homework problem asked you to derive the paraxial focus shift along the axis when a slab of glass was inserted in a converging cone of rays. Find or re-derive that result, then use it to calculate the paraxial radius of curvature of a field flattener of refractive index n that will correct the observed Petzval. Assume that the side of the flattener facing the image plane is plano. What is the required radius of the plano-convex field flattener? (p written as rho )
