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

Did you know?

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

Did you know?

Cutaneous mucormycosis is a rare fungal infection that has been fatal in at least 29% of cases, and in as many as 83% of cases, depending on the patient's health prior to infection. It has occurred often after natural disasters such as tornados, and early treatment is essential.
