Qualitatively what is the nature of emitted light if we evenly pump a sphere of lasing material? Suppose there are no mirrors to favor one direction.

Does the answer depend at all on the size of the sphere?

Thanks!

Thread 'Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere'

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
