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 low orbit satellite at 100 km altitude had a camera that resolved a car location to within 0.3 meter. Find the minimum diamete
NeX [460]

Answer:

Minimum diameter of the camera lens is 22.4 cm

The focal length of the camera's lens is 300cm

Explanation:

y = Resolve distance = 0.3 m

h = Height of satellite = 100 km

λ = Wavelength = 550 nm

Angular resolution

tan\theta\approx \theta =\frac{y}{h}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\frac{0.3}{100\times 10^3}=3\times 10^{-6}

From Rayleigh criteria

sin\theta=1.22\frac{\lambda}{D}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{\lambda}{sin\theta}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{550\times 10^{-9}}{sin3\times 10^{-6}}=0.2236\ m=22.4\ cm

Minimum diameter of the camera lens is 22.4 cm

Relation between resolvable feature, focal length and angular resolution

d=f\Delta \theta\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{d}{\Delta \theta}\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{9\times 10^{-6}}{3\times 10^{-6}}=3\ m=300\ cm

The focal length of the camera's lens is 300cm

How much mass should be attached to a vertical ideal spring having a spring constant (force constant) of 39.5 n/m so that it wil
mrs_skeptik [129]
The frequency of a simple harmonic oscillator such as a spring-mass system is given by
f= \frac{1}{2 \pi}   \sqrt{ \frac{k}{m} }
where 
k is the spring constant
m is the mass attached to the spring.

Re-arranging the formula, we get:
m= \frac{k}{4 \pi^2 f^2}
and since we know the constant of the spring:
k=39.5 N/m
and the frequency of oscillation:
f=1.00 Hz
we can find the value of the mass attached to it:
m= \frac{39.5 Hz}{4 \pi^2 (1.00 Hz)^2} = 1.00 kg
