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?
