Homework for Prob./Dist. Lesson 11

  1. Cauchy clarified the principles of ?................? by developing it with ?................? and ?................?.

     

     

     

  2. Lorentz's theory of ?................? ?................? better explained the ?................? and ?................? of light.

     

     

     

  3. The Lorentz Distribution is often used to describe ?................? behavior, like the interchange of ?................? and ?................? energy. It is ?................?, unimodal, and ?................?.

     

     

     

  4. The standard deviation of a Lorentz Distribution is ?................?.

     

     

     

  5. A Voigt Profile is a ?................? of Lorentzian and Gaussian Distributions.

     

     

     

  6. Cesium is an ?................? metal, ?................? near room temperature, and used in the definition of the ?................?. Only ?................? isotope(s) occur(s) naturally.

     

     

  7. Calkins got ?............? significant digits or ?......? parts per trillion in his research.

     

     

  8. High pressure Sodium lamps give a ?................? light near 590nm. The corresponding transitions in Cesium occurs in the ?................? near 852 and 894 nm.

     

     

  9. ?................? and ?................? frequencies might well become the new THz ?................? ?................?.

     

     

  10. Measure the FWHM for both Voigt Profiles in the first figure in the lesson, using the ends of the plot as base. Try for two significant digits.
