Q=f(resonant)/delta f => delta f = 6E14/5E7 = 1.2E7 Hz lamda=c/f =>lamda = 3E8/1.2E7 = 25m It just seems far too big when he's asking for it in nm :/

Yes but as i said at the bottom of the post, is the frequency i have the resonant frequency because this seems far too simple, the lecturer said it would take an hour or two but it's only taken 5 minutes... And he asks for it in nm but when i try the frequency i have i end up with 25m as the...

Homework Statement Light with wavelength 500 nm is emitted from an electron in an atom behaving as a lightly damped simple harmonic oscillator with Q = 5 x 10^7. Find the linewidth (width to half-power points) in nm. Homework Equations wavelength=c/f f=w/2pi Q=f/delta f=w/delta w The Attempt...

The thing that I miss about science classes from college were that the textbooks has so many practice questions and examples of how each part worked, along with the answers and some worked questions. At university level I'm yet to see any textbook following this style and it disappoints me...

Hello everyone! My name is Aidden, I'm 23 this year and I'm studying a Bachelor of Computing and Bachelor of Science at the University of Tasmania. I'm majoring in physics for the BSc, which is why I'm signing up here. This is my fourth year at university but I'm currently in second year...
