The de Broglie wavelength of a quantum-mechanical particle with momentum p is given by Y=h/p, where h is plancks constant. Use this to show that Fermi energy for a free Fermi gas is, with a numerical factor, equal to the kinetic energy of a particle whose de Broglie wavelength is equal to the average interparticle spacing in the gas.

Laser Cooling of Atoms: In the simplest versions of laser cooling, a gas of atoms can be cooled from room temperature (?300 K) to about 1 × 10-4 K through the absorption of light. The absorbed light transfers momentum to the atoms, thereby slowing down those atoms that are moving in the direction of the incoming laser beam. The following questions refer to a gas of rubidium atoms. (a) The average speed of atoms in the gas phase is directly...

Please use text to type out the answer, no pictures please thank you. The equation E=hf describes the energy of each photon in a beam of light. If Planck’s constant, h, were larger, would photons of light of the same frequency be more energetic or less energetic. Be sure to explain using at least 3 content related sentences.

Make use of the relation between the total energy (E) and momentum (p) of particles with a weight of m to induce the relation between the product of groupvelocity (Vg) and phasevelocity (Vp) of the particles and the speed of light using the relation between energy and frequency assumed by black body radiation and material waves, and the relation between the momentum and wavelength.

The particle nature of light was first proposed by Albert Einstein, who suggested that light could be described as a stream of particles called photons. A photon of wavelength λ has an energy (E) given by the following equation: E=hc/λ , where E is the energy of the photon in J, h is Planck's constant (6.626×10−34J⋅s), and c is the speed of light (3.00×108m/s). Calculate the energy of 1mol of photons with a wavelength of 602nm. (answer in Joules please)
