a) Electron transition obey selection rules.
In this case two selection rules will have to be applied
Angular momentum selection rule:
The transitions with
are allowed.
For example the following transition will be allowed
,
,
etc.
Spin selection rule:
The transitions with
are allowed. This means singlet to singlet and
triplet<->triplet transition are allowed.
Applying these two rules for the given states we will find that
only
transition is allowed.
b) The energy difference for the
transition is 65076 cm-1
Wavelength for this transition = 1/ 65076 cm = 153.66 nm
Therefore gas will be transparent in the 200-400 nm region.

Suppose that an electron is trapped in a one- dimensional, infinite potential well of width 250 nm is excited from the 2nd excited state to the fifth excited state. What energy must be transferred to the electron in order to make this transition? Answer: 1.62 x 10^-4 eV Check Correct Marks for this submission: 2.00/2.00. What wavelength photon does this correspond to? Answer: 75.15*10^-4m Check Considering all of the possible ways that the excited electron can de-excite back down to...
4.8 He-Ne Laser The He-Ne laser system energy levels can be quite complicated, as shown in Figure 4.58. There are a number of lasing emissions in the laser output in the red (632.8 nm), green (543.5 nm), orange (612 nm), yellow (594.1 nm), and in the infrared regions at 1.52 μm and 3.39 μm, which give the He-Ne laser its versatility. The pumping mechanism for all these lasers operations is the same, energy transfer from excited He atoms to Ne...
