The Excited State of a Certain Atom Is 1019 J10 ^ { - 19 } \mathrm {~J}

Question 3

Short Answer

The excited state of a certain atom is 3.2eV±0.21eV.(h=6.626×1034 Js,1eV=1.60×3.2 \mathrm { eV } \pm 0.21 \mathrm { eV } . \left( h = 6.626 \times 10 ^ { - 34 } \mathrm {~J} \cdot \mathrm { s } , 1 \mathrm { eV } = 1.60 \times \right. 1019 J10 ^ { - 19 } \mathrm {~J} )
(a) What is the average lifetime of this state, in femtoseconds?
(b) If the excited energy were doubled (to 6.4eV±0.21eV6.4 \mathrm { eV } \pm 0.21 \mathrm { eV } ), how would the lifetime be affected?
