Steven Chu, Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, and William Phillips received the 1997 Nobel Prize in Physics for “the development of methods to cool and trap atoms with laser light.” One part of their work was with a beam of atoms (mass ~ 10-25 kg) that move at a speed on the order of 1 km/s, similar to the speed of molecules in air at room temperature. An intense laser light beam tuned to a visible atomic transition (assume 500 nm) is directed straight into the atomic beam; that is, the atomic beam and the light beam are traveling in opposite directions. An atom in the ground state immediately absorbs a photon. Total system momentum is conserved in the absorption process. After a lifetime on the order of 10-8 s, the excited atom radiates by spontaneous emission. It has an equal probability of emitting a photon in any direction. Therefore, the average “recoil” of the atom is zero over many absorption and emission cycles. (a) Estimate the average deceleration of the atomic beam. (b) What is the…
A physicist makes many measurements of the frequency of light emitted when a electron transitions from a particular excited state of an ion. For the system she is studying, the only allowed transition from the excited state is to the ground state. Her measurements have an average value of favg=2.13×1015 Hz with a standard deviation of ?f=17.4×106 Hz.
What is the minimum lifetime Δtmin of the excited state in seconds?
a) A typical atomic nucleaus is about 5.00×10-¹5 m in radius. Use uncertanity principle to

wavelengths A₁ = 15nm and A2= 22nm, (b) Investigate that combined waveform moves
equal, faster/slower than either of its component waves?
