Assignment ENGG PHYSICS

This document contains questions and solutions regarding concepts in optics and lasers. Q1A asks the student to calculate the wavelength of light emitted in spontaneous emission using the ratio of excited to ground state populations and the temperature. Q2A asks the student to calculate the spacing between interference fringes and the distance from the central maximum to the first minimum using parameters from a double slit experiment. Q3A asks the student to calculate the number of fringes seen and the ratio of intensity between the third fringe and central fringe in a double slit pattern. The document tests the student's understanding of concepts like stimulated emission, lasing action, and the relationships between wavelength, diffraction patterns, and interference patterns.

Q1A. The ratio of population of two energy levels (excited to ground state) is 1.059x10-30. Find
the wavelength of the light emitted by the emission at 300K. Do you expect a spontaneous or
stimulated emission? [3 MARKS]
𝑵𝟐 (𝑬𝟐 𝑬𝟏 )/𝒌𝑻
=𝒆
𝑵𝟏
N2/N1 = 1.059x10-30 = exp(-hc/λkT)
Solving for λ, we get, λ = 696 nm
We expect a spontaneous emission
Q1B. If a polychromatic radiation falls normally on a diffraction grating, violet color gets
most deviated . State whether the above statement is TRUE or FALSE. Justify your answer.
[2 MARKS]
FALSE. The deviation is decided by the equation dsinθ=mλ
Since the wavelength of violet is least for the visible range, it gets least deviated.

Q2A. In a double slit experiment, the distance of the screen from the slits is 52 cm, the
wavelength is 480 nm, slit separation is 0.12 mm and the slit width is 0.025 mm.
a) What is the spacing between adjacent fringes?
b) What is the distance from the central maximum to the first minimum of the fringe
envelope? [3 MARKS]

a) ∆𝑦 = = 2.1 𝑚𝑚
b) 𝑎 = 𝜆 ==> 𝑦 = 10 𝑚𝑚

Q2B. The Ruby laser is a three level laser which gives a continuous lasing output. State
whether the above statement is TRUE or FALSE. Justify your answer. [2 MARKS]
FALSE Since the flash lamp is used as the pumping source it gives a discontinuous output.

Q3A. How many complete fringes appear in the central maxima for a double slit pattern if λ=
557nm, d= 0.150 mm and a = 0.030mm. ii) What is the ratio of the intensity of the third fringe
to the side of the center to that of the central fringe. [3 MARKS]
Solution:

a
5th interference max squelched by the diffrction minimum  Number of fringes =

Q3B. Reflective ends in the laser systems helps in the stimulated emission of radiation. State
whether the above statement is TRUE or FALSE. Justify your answer. [2 MARKS]
Solution: True, Light travels back and forth between the end mirrors, each time triggering
electrons on their path to emit radiations stimulatively.

Q4A. An atom has two energy levels with a transition wavelength of 582 nm. At 300
K, suppose 7.0 x 1020 atoms are pumped into upper state, with 4.0 x 1020 atoms in the
lower state. How much energy could be released in a single laser pulse ? [3 MARKS]

Q4B. State whether the following statement is TRUE or FALSE and justify your answer:
In double silt arrangement, both diffraction and interference patterns broaden with increase of
wavelength. [2 MARKS]

Solution: True, they are directly proportional, since interference band width = λ D/d & sin =
λ/a.
