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>

The air is soundproof??
Svet_ta [14]
Not possible. The air is actually able to travel sound throughout itself without any difficulties. I believe, air actually brings sound closer to the people farther away ; It really helps to stretch sound.

.In a bizarre but harmless accident, Superman fell from the top of the Eiffel Tower. How fast was Superman traveling when he hit
ELEN [110]

Answer:

 (7.8) x (9.8 m/s)  =  76.44 m/s

during the time he spent falling.

Since his falling speed was zero when he 'stepped' off of the top,

he hit the ground at  76.44 m/s.

That's about 170 miles per hour.

I'll bet he left one serious crater!

I hope this helps too! :D

How long does it took for 1000-watt microwave oven to do 20000 joules of work
svp [43]

Answer:

20 seconds

Explanation:

The equation for Power is:

Power = \frac{Work}{time}

Which means...

Time=\frac{Work}{Power}

We can plug in the given values into the equation:

Time = \frac{20000\ J}{1000\ W}

Time=20 \ s
