The most prominent line in the spectrum of mercury is at 253.652 nm. Other lines are located at 365.015 nm, 404.656 nm, 435.833 nm, and 101.975 nm. (a) which of these lines represents the most energetic light? (b) what is the frequency of the most prominent line? What is the energy of one photon with this wavelength? (c) Are any of these lines found in the spectrum of mercury shown in figure 6.6? What color or colors are these lines?
Answer the following questions about a Blu-ray laser: (a) The laser on a Blu-ray player has a wavelength of 405 nm. In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum is this radiation? What is its frequency? (b) A Blu-ray laser has a power of 5 millwatts (1watt=1Js1). How many photons of light are produced by the laser in 1 hour? (c) The ideal resolution of a player using a laser (such as a Blu-ray player), which determines how close together data can be stored on a compact disk, is determined using the following formula: Resolution =0.60(/NA), where A is the wavelength of the laser and NA is the numerical aperture. Numerical aperture is a measure of the size of the spot of light on the disk; the larger the NA, the smaller the spot. In a typical Blu-ray system, NA = 0.95. If the 405-nm laser is used in a Blu-ray player, what is the closest that information can be stored on a Blu-ray disk? (d) The data density of a Blu-ray disk using a 405-nm laser is 1.5107 bits mm2. Disks have an outside diameter of 120 mm and a hole of 15-mm diameter. How many data bits can be contained on the disk? If a Blu-ray disk can hold 9,400,000 pages of text, how many data bits are needed for a typed page? (Hint: Determine the area of the disk that is available to hold data. The area inside a circle is given by A=r2, where the radius r is one-half of the diameter.)
