A Semi Classical Explanation of Stimulated Emission

AI Thread Summary
Stimulated emission in lasers can indeed be explained semi-classically, utilizing a classical electromagnetic field alongside quantum mechanical principles for matter. This approach typically employs rate equations to describe the interactions involved. While some discussions reference mathematical frameworks, there is a call for more intuitive explanations to enhance understanding. The complexity of the topic leads to its classification as 'advanced,' indicating a higher level of discussion. Overall, the semi-classical model effectively captures the essential mechanics of stimulated emission in lasers.

Can Stimulated Emission in lasers be explained semi classically? If so, how?

Thanks Andy.
Can you also provide a less mathematical but more intuitive explanation?

Why did you label your question as 'advanced'?
 
Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
