Answer:

a)   I = 1,894 10¹⁰ W / m², b)  E = 1.376 10⁵ N / C

Explanation:

a) intensity is defined as energy per unit area per unit time

          I = P / A

let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

         P = 10 mW = 10 10⁻³ W

         d = 0.82 μm = 0.82 10⁻⁶ m

the laser area is

         A =π r² = π d²/4

         A =π (0.82 10⁻⁶)²/4

         A = 5.28 10⁻¹³ m²

we calculate

          I = \frac{10 \ 10^{-3}}{5.28 \ 10^{-13}}

          I = 1,894 10¹⁰ W / m²

b) average intensity and electric field are related

          I = E * E

          E = √I

          E = \sqrt{1.894 \ 10^{10}}

          E = 1.376 10⁵ N / C

One plate goes under another in a _____.
marta [7]
One plate goes under another in the subduction zone. So for the given question, the correct option is option “A”. Subduction rates are not very high. They can be only a few centimeters per year and that is the reason people do not feel the effect. The plates between which the shifting occurs can either be oceanic crust or the continental crust. Mountain formations are necessarily associated with subduction movements of plates. In such cases the movements are huge and can result in earth quakes as well.
