Question:

(a) A green laser pointer emits light with a wavelength of 532 nm. What is the frequency of this light?

(b) What is theenergy of one of these photons?

(c) The laser pointer emits light because electrons in the material are excited (by a battery) from their ground state to an upper excited state. When the electrons return to the ground state, they lose the excess energy in the form of 532-nm photons. What is the energy gap between the ground state and excited state in the laser material?
