1. How many lvalues are associated with n = 3 ? (b) How manymlvalues are associated with l =1 ?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. There are 3 l values associated with n = 3.
  2. There are 3 mlvalues associated with l =1 .

Step by step solution

01

The given data:

The given quantum numbers are:

  1. The principal quantum number, n = 3
  2. The orbital quantum number, l = 1
02

Understanding the concept of the electronic configuration:

For every given value of principal quantum number , there exist values of orbital quantum number l, ranging from 0 to (n -1) . Similarly, for every given value of orbital quantum number l , there exists -l to +l values for each magnetic quantum number, ml.

03

(a) Calculation of l  values for n = 3 :

For n = 3 the orbital quantum number is,

l = 0,1,2

Thus, in n = 3 , number of subshells l = 3 .

Using the concept, there are 3 l values ranging from 0 to 2 associated with n = 3.

Hence, there are 3 values.

04

b) Calculation of  m values for l = 1  

For l = 3 the magnetic quantum number is,

ml=-1,0,1 for l = 0 ; total ml value is 3 .

Using the concept, there are 3 values of ml ranging from -1 to +1 associated with l = 1

Hence, there are 3ml values.

Ruby lasers are at a wavelength of 694 nm. A certain ruby crystal has Cr ions (which are the atoms that lase). The lasing transition is between the first excited state and the ground state, and the output is a light pulse lasting 2.00μs. As the pulse begins, 60.0% of the Cr ions are in the first excited state and the rest are in the ground state. What is the average power emitted during the pulse? (Hint:Don’t just ignore the ground-state ions.)
