Question

You fill a glass tube with argon atoms and SF6 gas. This gas has a density much greater than air and an index of refraction of 1.800. If you point a laser at this tube and fire a single photon with a wavelength of 2.0 nm, could you ionize one of the argon atoms? The ionization energy of argon is 1520.57 kJ/mole.

Step 1

To do this, we need to convert the ionization energy from kJ/mole to Joules per atom. We know that 1 mole of any substance contains approximately 6.022 x 10^23 atoms (Avogadro's number). So, we can calculate the energy per atom as follows: Energy per atom = Show more…
