Get started for freeIn the atom interferometer experiment shown in Figure laser cooling techniques were used to cool a dilute vapor of sodium atoms to a temperature of . The ultracold atoms passed through a series of collimating apertures to form the atomic beam you see circling the figure from the left. The standing light waves were created from a laser beam with a wavelength of
a. What is the rms speed of a sodium atom in a gas at this temperature ?
b. By treating the laser beam as if it were a diffraction grating. cakculate the first-order diffraction angle of a sodium atom traveling with the rms speed of part a.
c. allow far apart are points and if the second sanding wave is from the first?
d. Because interference is observed between the two paths, each individual atom is apparently present at both point and point . Describe, in your own words, what this experiment tells you about the nature of matter.
Dinoflagellates are single-cell organisms that float in the world’s oceans. Many types are bioluminescent. When disturbed, a typical bioluminescent dinoflagellate emits 108 photons in a 0.10-s-long flash of wavelength 460 nm. What is the power of the flash?
Consider a small virus having a diameter of 10 nm. The atoms of the intracellular fluid are confined within the virus. Suppose we model the virus as a 10-nm-long “box.” What is the ground state energy (in eV) of a sodium ion confined in this box?
If an electron is in a stationary state of an atom, is the electron at rest? If not, what does the term mean?
What is the wavelength, in nm, of a photon with energy (a) 0.30 eV, (b) 3.0 eV, and (c) 30 eV? For each, is this wavelength visible, ultraviolet, or infrared light?
