Question

The critical temperature of a superconductor is 7K. What is the binding energy of the cooper pair? What frequency of radiation can break this cooper pair?​

Answer 1

This electron interaction mediated by phonons is appealing. a cooper pair's binding energy. At low temperatures, this is on the order of 10-3 eV.

What is the binding energy of the cooper pair? What is the frequency of radiation?

• Thermal energy can easily shatter the pairs because the pairing interaction has very low energy of the order of 103 eV. Therefore, a considerable portion of the electrons is only in Cooper pairs at low temperatures, in metal and other substrates.

• UV light has a shorter wavelength than violet light. In a similar vein, infrared energy has a larger wavelength than red light. Frequency and wavelength have an inverse relationship. In other words, the frequency decreases as the wavelength increases.
