45. Chap.11 pb. 20 [exercise added on 2002/02/05] is an unrecommended exercise: what does "in a single pulse" mean? If Eisberg-Resnick meant coherently, by stimulated emission as opposed to by spontaneous emission, then they should have specified the detailed experimental arrangement to define the spectral density (which is actually a function of time...). There are clearly not enough data to answer question (b). The total available energy is 239.743 J.
46. Chap.11 pb. 21 [assume that the spectral radiance is coming all from a parallel beam, and that the "stimulated emission rate" actually means "total stimulated emission rate", to get Eisberg-Resnick's result]
47. Chap.11 pb. 27
48. Chap.11 pb. 29
49. Chap.12 pb. 1 [assume the repulsive potential grows very sharply]
50. Chap.12 pb. 10
51. Chap.12 pb. 11 [question (b) is ambiguous. If it means "probability of HCl in first excited rotational (and any vibrational) state / probability of HCl in first excited vibrational (and any rotational) state" then the result is 1.08681. Instead if it means "probability of HCl in first excited rotational and lowest vibrational state / probability of HCl in first excited vibrational and lowest rotational state" then the result is 216.764. Eisberg-Resnick's result "210/1" could mean that they had this second interpretation in mind. These numbers come out by taking: h nu^vib = 0.37 eV, and ℏ²/I = 0.0026 eV, as in the text.]

It couldn't hurt, of course, to try and solve problems not included in this list, nor in this book...
