Let be a photon whose wavelength ? = 6000 Å has been measured with relative uncertainty (delta Ⲗ.)/ Ⲗ

What is the uncertainty about the position of this photon. If we consider that the photon has been emitted by an electron that has transited from an excited state to the ground state, what would it be the lifetime of this excited state.

The Width of Spectral Lines: The average time after excitation at which a group of atoms radiate is called the lifetime, t, of an excited state. Due to Heisenberg uncertainty principle, the excited state energy has a corresponding uncertainty of DE, which is responsible for the width of spectral lines known as natural linewidth (natural broadening). If t = 1.0´10-8 s, calculate the energy uncertainty of the excited sate. Compute the natural linewidth Df of light due to transition from...

A photon of wavelength 5.58 pm scatters at an angle of 122° from an initially stationary, unbound electron. What is the de Broglie wavelength(in pm) of the electron after the photon has been scattered?? Notice: Answer is not (9.29, 2.12, 2.06, nor 4.11)pm Explanation: The de Broglie wavelength of a massive particle is related to its momentum in the same way that a photon's momentum is related to its wavelength. The well-known Compton scattering relationship gives the final wavelength of...
