Unit – 6 Atomic Physics

1. What are the conditions to achieve the laser action? ( M – 06, J – 07, O - 13, J - 14 )

Conditions to achieve laser action

(i) There must be an inverted population i.e. more atoms in the excited state than in

the ground state.

(ii) The excited state must be a metastable state.

(iii) The emitted photons must stimulate further emission. This is achieved by the use of the

reflecting mirrors at the ends of the system.

2. An X-ray diffraction of a crystal gave a closest line at an angle of 6o27’. If the wavelength of

X-ray is 0.58Ao, find the distance between the two cleavage planes. ( M – 06, O - 13, O - 14, O - 15 )

2d Sinθ = nλ

Here, n = 1.

d = λ / 2 Sinθ

i.e ν α Z2 or ν = a(Z − b)

where a and b are constants depending upon the particular spectral line.

15. Explain any one of the drawbacks of Rutherford atom model. ( O – 08 )

According to classical electromagnetic theory, the accelerating electron must radiate energy at

a frequency proportional to the angular velocity of the electron. Therefore, as the electron spiral towards

the nucleus, the angular velocity tends to become infinity and hence the frequency of the emitted energy

will tend to infinity. This will result in a continuous spectrum with all possible wavelengths.
