Figure P24.52 shows portions of the energy-level diagrams of the helium and neon atoms. An electrical discharge excites the He atom from its ground state (arbitrarily assigned the energy E1 = 0) to its excited state of 20.61 eV. The excited He atom collides with a Ne atom in its ground state and excites this atom to the state at 20.66 eV. Lasing action takes place for electron transitions from E3 to E2 in the Ne atoms. From the data in the figure, show that the wavelength of the red HeNe laser light is approximately 633 nm. Figure P24.52
