Limiting temperature for rubidium atoms

Reference no: EM131019351

An apparent limit on the temperature achievable by laser cooling is reached when an atom's recoil energy from absorbing or emitting a single photon is comparable to its total kinetic energy. Make a rough estimate of this limiting temperature for rubidium atoms that are cooled using laser light with a wavelength of 780 nm.
