A. E = 1.96 ev, color is red, v = 1.24 x 10^8 m/s B. E = 1.6 x 10^-19 ev, color is not invisible range, v = 3 x 10^8 m/s C. E = 2.5 ev, color is green, v = 1.24 x 10^8 m/s D. E = 3.03 ev, color is violet, v = 4 x 10^8 m/s A 1 mW He-Ne laser beam has a wavelength of 632.8 nm. 1) Calculate the energy E of the laser beam in electron volts (ev) 2) What color does this laser beam's wavelength correspond? 3) If this laser beam is focused into a 1 carat diamond, with the index of refraction n = 2.42, calculate the speed of the laser beam.

Explanation / Answer


1) E = hc/lamda

E(eV) = 1243/lamda(nm)

E = 1243/632.8

E = 1.96 eV

2) lamda = 632.8 nm belongs to red color

3)n = 2.42

n = c/v

2.42= 3*10^8/v

v = 1.24*10^8 m/s

correct option is (A)
