Question

Atoms can be "cooled" to incredibly low temperatures by letting them interact with a laser beam. Various novel quantum phenomena appear at these temperatures.
What is the rms speed of cesium atoms that have been cooled to a temperature of 100nK ?

Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer 1

Answer:

the rms speed of cesium atoms that have been cooled to a temperature of 100nK = 0.43cm/s or 0.0043m/s

Explanation:

The concept of root mean square velocity is applied, where the average translational kinetic is related to the actual kinetic energy, the expression for the root mean square is the generated.

The detailed steps and appropriate substitution is as shown in the attachment.
