Lasers are classified according to the eye-damage danger they pose. Class 2 lasers, including many laser pointers, produce visib

le light with no greater than 1.0 mW total power. They're relatively safe because the eye's blink reflex limits exposure time to 250 ms.
Requried:
a. Find the intensity of a 1-mW class 2 laser with beam diameter 2.0 mm .
b. Find the total energy delivered before the blink reflex shuts the eye.
c. Find the peak electric field in the laser beam.

Answer:

<em>a) 318.2 W/m^2</em>

<em>b) 2.5 x 10^-4 J</em>

<em>c) 1.55 x 10^-8 v/m</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Power of laser P = 1 mW = 1 x 10^-3 W

exposure time t = 250 ms = 250 x 10^-3 s

If beam diameter = 2 mm = 2 x 10^-3 m

then

cross-sectional area of beam A = \pi d^{2} /4 = (3.142 x (2*10^{-3} )^{2})/4

A = 3.142 x 10^-6 m^2

a) Intensity I = P/A

where P is the power of the laser

A is the cros-sectional area of the beam

I = ( 1 x 10^-3)/(3.142 x 10^-6) = <em>318.2 W/m^2</em>

<em></em>

b) Total energy delivered E = Pt

where P is the power of the beam

t is the exposure time

E = 1 x 10^-3 x 250 x 10^-3 = <em>2.5 x 10^-4 J</em>

<em></em>

c) The peak electric field is given as

E = \sqrt{2I/ce_{0} }

where I is the intensity of the beam

E is the electric field

c is the speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s

e_{0} = 8.85 x 10^9 m kg s^-2 A^-2

E = \sqrt{2*318.2/3*10^8*8.85*10^9}  = <em>1.55 x 10^-8 v/m</em>

A thin soap bubble of index of refraction 1.33 is viewed with light of wavelength 550.0nm and appears very bright. Predict a pos
faust18 [17]

Answer:

The possible thickness of the soap bubble = 1.034\times 10^{-7}\ m.

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Refractive index of the soap bubble, \mu=1.33.
  • Wavelength of the light taken, \lambda = 550.0\ nm = 550.0\times 10^{-9}\ m.

Let the thickness of the soap bubble be t.

It is given that the soap bubble appears very bright, it means, there is a constructive interference takes place.

For the constructive interference of light through a thin film ( soap bubble), the condition of constructive interference is given as:

2\mu t=\left ( m+\dfrac 12 \right )\lambda.

where m is the order of constructive interference.

Since the soap bubble is appearing very bright, the order should be 0, as 0^{th} order interference has maximum intensity.

Thus,

2\mu t=\left (0+\dfrac 12\right )\lambda\\t=\dfrac{\lambda}{4\mu}\\\ \ = \dfrac{550\times 10^{-9}}{4\times 1.33}\\\ \ = 1.034\times 10^{-7}\ m.

It is the possible thickness of the soap bubble.

A hand moves a block vertically upward. Its speed slows down as it moves up (it is decelerating). The work done by gravity on th
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

a. negative

b. zero

Explanation:

work is the change in the energy of a system due to external forces

work is done when a force moves a load through a distance in the direction of the force

The work done by a force on a  system is positive when the force  and the force displacement point  in the same direction and negative  when they point in opposite  directions

in the scenario we are considering in the question, the force (the hand) moves the block vertically upwards but the displacement of the block reduces (in the opposite direction) since it decelerates. as such the work done by gravity on the block is negative.

the work done on the block is zero if the system consists of the block and the earth because there is no gravitational force exerted on the system
