P17.5 Another important uncertainty principle is encountered
in time-dependent systems. It relates the lifetime of a state At
with the measured spread in the photon energy AE associated
with the decay of this state to a stationary state of the system.
"Derive" the relation AE At ≥ h/2 in the following steps.
a. Starting from E = p/2m and AE = (dE/dpx)^px,
Vx Apx.
show that AE =
b. Using vx = Ax/At, show that AE At
=
ApxAx ≥ h/2.
c. Estimate the width of a spectral line originating from the
decay of a state of lifetime 1.0 × 10s and 1.0 × 10-¹¹ s
in inverse seconds and inverse centimeters.
Your answer is partially correct.
A laser emits light at wavelength A = 598 nm in a beam of diameter 3.7 mm and at an energy-emission rate of 5.5 mW. A detector in
the beam's path absorbs the beam. At what rate per unit area does the detector absorb photons?
Number

Write the Photon energy equation.
Explain the Photoelectric effect of light in relation to the conservation of
energy.
A sodium vapor lamp is placed at the center of a large sphere that
absorbs all the light reaching it. The rate at which the lamp emits energy
is 145 W; assume that the emission is entirely at a wavelength of 386 nm.
Evaluate the rate at which the photon is absorbed by the lamp.
