Ans 1: Laser light has many advantages over ordinary light such as laser light is
1. Coherent
2. Intense
3. Monochromatic
4. Unidirectional

Question # 10

What are the difference between laser light and ordinary light?

Ans 1: The laser light is intense ,unidirectional and phase coherent ,so it does bit spread as compared to ordinary light.

Question # 2

Distinguished between stimulated emission and spontaneous emission.

Ans 1: Stimulated emission: If a atom is excited for a longer lifetime of about 10^-3sec than an incident photon of energy equal to the difference of two energy levels induces the atom to decay by emitting a photon that travel in the direction of incident photon.This process is called stimulated or induced emission.
Ans 2: Spontaneous Emission: As excited is highly unstable with life time of
10^-8sec,so electron will de excite itself with emission of a photon in any arbitrarydirection is called spontaneous emission.

Ans 1: Yes an electron in the ground state of hydrogen atom can absorb a photon of energy 13.6 eV and greater than 13.6 eV.
ionization energy of hydrogen atom in ground state is 13.6 eV.So if hydrogen absorb a photon of energy greater than 13.6 eV than the surplus energy of photon appear as K.E of electron

Question # 6

What do we mean when we say that the atom is excited?

Ans 1: When energy from some external source is provide to an atom in its normal state,then its electron will jump from lower energy state to higher energy state.And atom is said to be excited.
