Glass is transparent to visibile light under normal conditions; however, at extremely high intensities, glass will absorb most o

f the light incident upon it. This works through a process known as multiphoton absorption. In this process, several photons are absorbed at the same time. If very intense light whose photons carry 2eV of energy is shined onto a material with a band gap of 4eV, that light can be absorbed through two-photon absorption, because two photons have the right amount of energy to bridge the band gap. What is the minimum number of photons of 800-nm light that are needed to equal or exceed the band gap of fused silica glass?

Answer:

3 photons

Explanation:

The energy of a photon E can be calculated using this formula:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

Where h corresponds to Plank constant (6.626070x10^-34Js), c is the speed of light in the vacuum (299792458m/s) and \lambda is the wavelength of the photon(in this case 800nm).

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}=\frac{(6.626070\times10^{-34})(299792458)}{800\times10^{-9}}=\frac{1.986445812\times10^-25}{800}=2.483057265\times10^{-19}J

Tranform the units

1eV=1.602176634\times10^{-19}J\\2.483057265\times10^{-19}J(\frac{1eV}{1.602176634\times10^{-19}J})=1.549802445eV

The band Gap is 4eV, divide the band gap between the energy of the photon:

\frac{4ev}{1.549802445eV}=2.508974118

Rounding to the next integrer: 3.

Three photons are the minimum to equal or exceed the band gap.

Which machine can create images of atoms?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer: Scanning Tunneling Microscope

Explanation:

The answer is, of course, the greatest Star Trek fan art imaginable: images literally built out of individual atoms. The images are the work of IBM scientists who created the unique artwork with a two-ton machine called the Scanning Tunneling Microscope that moves single atoms across a tiny piece of copper.

masha68 [24]

Answer:

applying 1st eq of motion vf=vi+at we have to find a=vf-vi/t here a=50-30/2=10 so we got a=10m/s²
