Question: The full width at half maximum of an atomic absorption line at 589.0 nm is 100 MHz. A beam of light passes through a gas
The full width at half maximum of an atomic absorption line at 589.0 nm is 100 MHz. A beam of light passes through a gas with an atomic density of 1x1017 m-3.
iCalculate the peak absorption coefficient due to this absorption line
iiCalculate the frequency at which the resonant contribution to the refractive index is at a maximum iii) Calculate the peak value of the resonant contribution to the refractive index
You can assume that the index of refraction n =1 in for this dilute gas.
