Chapter 24, Problem 52P
Figure P24.52 shows portions of the energy-level diagrams of the helium and neon atoms. An electrical discharge excites the He atom from its ground state (arbitrarily assigned the energy E1 = 0) to its excited state of 20.61 eV. The excited He atom collides with a Ne atom in its ground state and excites this atom to the state at 20.66 eV. Lasing action takes place for electron transitions from E3* to E2 in the Ne atoms. From the data in the figure, show that the wavelength of the red He–Ne laser light is approximately 633 nm.
