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.

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial velocity u = V₀ in upward direction so it will be negative

u = - V₀

Displacement s = H . It is downwards so it will be positive

Acceleration = g ( positive as it is also downwards )

Using the formula

v² = u² + 2 g s

v² = (- V₀ )² + 2 g H

= V₀² + 2 g H .

v = √ ( V₀² + 2 g H )

(a) What is the minimum width of a single slit (in multiples of λ ) that will produce a first minimum for a wavelength λ ? (b) W
Kitty [74]

Answer:

The minimum value of width for first minima is λ

The  minimum value of width for 50 minima is 50λ

The  minimum value of width for 1000 minima is 1000λ

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = λ

For D to be small,

We need to calculate the minimum width

Using formula of minimum width

D\sin\theta=n\lambda

D=\dfrac{n\lambda}{\sin\theta}

Where, D = width of slit

\lambda = wavelength

Put the value into the formula

D=\dfrac{n\lambda}{\sin\theta}

Here, \sin\theta should be maximum.

So. maximum value of \sin\theta is 1

Put the value into the formula

D=\dfrac{1\times\lambda}{1}

D=\lambda

(b). If the minimum number  is 50

Then, the width is

D=\dfrac{50\times\lambda}{1}

D=50\lambda

(c). If the minimum number  is 1000

Then, the width is

D=\dfrac{1000\times\lambda}{1}

D=1000\lambda

Hence, The minimum value of width for first minima is λ

The  minimum value of width for 50 minima is 50λ

The  minimum value of width for 1000 minima is 1000λ
