Homework 13, due Oct 10
|
|||
|
|
1) Use the simple form of the NIST transition probabilities for H I. What is the transition probability for Lyman alpha? Lyman gamma?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Just reading Aₖᵢ values from the table.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
6.27×10⁸ s⁻¹
|
|||
|
|
1.278×10⁷ s⁻¹
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2) What is the transition probability for Balmer alpha? Balmer beta?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
4.410×10⁷ s⁻¹
|
|||
|
|
8.419×10⁶ s⁻¹
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3) What is the lifetime for the n=2 and n=4 levels of hydrogen?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This is the inverse of the sum ∑ₗAᵤ﹐ₗ where l = {1..u}.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
n=2:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Lifetime T = (∑ₗA₂﹐ₗ)⁻¹
|
|||
|
|
= (6.27×10⁸ s⁻¹)⁻¹
|
|||
|
|
= 1.60×10⁻⁹ s.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
n=4:
|
|||
|
|
T = (∑ₗA₄﹐ₗ)⁻¹
|
|||
|
|
= (1.278×10⁷ s⁻¹ + 8.419×10⁶ s⁻¹ + 8.986×10⁶ s⁻¹)⁻¹
|
|||
|
|
= 3.313×10⁻⁸ s.
