Some of the most powerful lasers are based on the energy levels of neodymium in solids, such as glass, as shown in Figure below.
(a) What average wavelength light can pump the neodymium into the levels above its metastable state?
.(b) Verify that the 1.17 eV transition produces 1.06 micrometre radiation.
Consider the Balmer series discussed in the book (and Prof. Scherer's lecture notes), where the
frequencies are given by:
x (3.29 × 1015 s-1)
n = 3,4,5, ..
v =
Let us focus only on the spectral lines and transitions corresponding to the Balmer series.
a) Suppose the Balmer series of hydrogen is studied using a Franck-Hertz experiment.
What is the threshold voltage required for n=3? How about n=4?
b) The Lyman Series frequencies are given by v = |1- x (3.29 x 1015 s-1). Describe
what is different about these two series of emission frequencies of photons from the
hydrogen atom? That is, what distinguishes one series from the other? (Hint: it may help
to think about the Bohr model interpretation of transitions.)
