A ruby laser delivers a 2.28-J pulse in approximately 50 nanoseconds. The wavelength of the light is 694.4 nm. At least how many atoms within the ruby rod had to be excited to allow this high-energy laser pulse? (h = 6.63  10-34 Js, c = 3.00  108 m/s, 1 eV = 1.6  10-19 J, and 1 nm = 10-9 m)
 a. 3  1019
  c. 8  1018
  b. 4  1018
  d. 6  1020

Question 2

The wavelength of a coherent laser is 628 nm. What energy difference exists between the upper excited state involved and the lower unexcited ground state? (h = 6.63  10-34 Js, c = 3.00  108 m/s, 1 eV = 1.60  10-19 J, and 1 nm = 10-9 m)
 a. 1.86 eV
  c. 1.75 eV
  b. 1.81 eV
  d. 1.98 eV

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia. Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made. The mixture of cocaine, saliva, and resin numbed the site enough to allow hours of drilling.

Many people have small pouches in their colons that bulge outward through weak spots. Each pouch is called a diverticulum. About 10% of Americans older than age 40 years have diverticulosis, which, when the pouches become infected or inflamed, is called diverticulitis. The main cause of diverticular disease is a low-fiber diet.
