Very short pulses of high-intensity laser beams are used to repair detached portions of the retina of the eye. The brief pulses

of energy absorbed by the retina welds the detached portion back into place. In one such procedure, a laser beam has a wavelength of 810 nm and delivers 250 mW of power spread over a circular spot 510 ?m in diameter. The vitreous humor (the transparent fluid that fills most of the eye) has an index of refraction of 1.34.

Answer:

a) U = 0.375 mJ

b) p_rad = 4.08 mPa

c) λ_med = 604 nm ; f_med = 3.7 * 10^14 Hz

d) E_o = 3.04 * 10^4 V / m , B _o = 1.013 *10^-4 Nm/Amp

Explanation:

Given:

λ_air : wavelength = 810 * 10^(-9) m

P: Power delivered = 0.25 W

d : Diameter of circular spot = 0.00051 m

c : speed of light vacuum = 3 * 10^8 m/s

n_air : refraction Index of light in air = 1

n_med : refraction Index of light in medium = 1.34

ε_o : permittivity of free space = 8.85 * 10^-12 C / Vm

part a

The Energy delivered to retina per pulse given that laser pulses are 1.50 ms long:

U = P*t

U = (0.25 ) * (0.0015 )

U = 0.375 mJ

Answer : U = 0.375 mJ

part b

What average pressure would the pulse of the laser beam exert at normal incidence on a surface in air if the beam is fully absorbed?

p_rad = I / c

Where I : Intensity = P / A

p_rad = P / A*c

Where A : Area of circular spot = pi*d^2 / 4

p_rad = 4P / pi*d^2*c

p_rad = 4(0.25) / pi*0.00051^2*(3.0 * 10^8)

p_rad = 0.00408 Pa

Answer : p_rad = 4.08 mPa

part c

What are the wavelength and frequency of the laser light inside the vitreous humor of the eye?

λ_med = n_air*λ_air / n_med

λ_med = (1) * (810 nm) / 1.34

λ_med = 604 nm

f_med = f_air

f_med = c / λ_air

f_med = (3*10^8) / (810 * 10^-9)

f_med = 3.7 * 10^14 Hz

Answer : λ_med = 604 nm ; f_med = 3.7 * 10^14 Hz

d)

What is the electric and magnetic field amplitude in the laser beam?

I = P / A

I = 0.5*ε_o*c*E_o ^2

I = 4P / pi*d^2

Hence, E_o = ( 8 P / ε_o*c*pi*d^2 ) ^ 0.5

E_o = ( 8 * 0.25 / (8.85*10^-12) * (3*10^8) * π * (0.00051)^2) ^ 0.5

E_o = 3.04 * 10^4 V / m

For maximum magnetic field strength:

B_o = E_o / c

B_o = 3.04 * 10^4 / (3*10^8)

B _o = 1.013 *10^-4 Nm/Amp

Answer: E_o = 3.04 * 10^4 V / m , B _o = 1.013 *10^-4 Nm/Amp

Two point charges each carrying a charge of + 4.5 E - 6 C are located 4.5 meters away from each other. How strong is the electro

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

0.009 N, repulsive

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two electric charges is given by:

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

In this problem, we have

$q_1 =q_2 = +4.5\cdot 10^{-6}C$ are the two charges

r = 4.5 m is their separation

Substituting into the equation, we find

$F=(9\cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2})\frac{(+4.5\cdot 10^{-6} C)(4.5\cdot 10^{-6} C)}{(4.5 m)^2}=0.009 N$

Moreover, the force is repulsive. In fact, the following rules apply:

- When two charges have same sign, they repel each other

- When two charges have opposite signs, they attract each other

A stone is thrown vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 20m/sec. Find the maximum height ot reaches and the time taken

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The height reached is 20m, The time taken to reach 20m is 2 seconds

Explanation:

Observing the equations of motion we can see that the following equation will be most helpful for this question.

$v^{2} = u^{2} + 2as$

We are given initial velocity, u

We know that the stone will stop at its maximum height, so final velocity, v

Acceleration, a

And we are looking for the displacement (height reached), s

Substitute the values we are given into the equation

$0^{2} = 20^{2} + 2(10)s$

Rearrange for s

$0^{2} -20^{2} =20s$

$-400=20s$

$\frac{-400}{20} =s$

s = -20 (The negative is just showing direction, it can be ignored for now)

The height reached is 20m

Use a different equation to find the time taken

$s = vt - \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

Substitute in the values we have

$-20=(0)t - \frac{1}{2} (10)t^{2}$

Rearrange for t

$-20 =0 -5 t^{2}$

$\frac{-20}{-5} =t^{2}$

$4 = t^{2}$

t = 2s

The time taken to reach 20m is 2 seconds

The function of a cell depends primarily on its ?

Schach [20]

<span>Organelles which are very important in giving nutrients. During cellular respiration, the food molecules such as glucose, are oxidized to carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) and trapped in ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) form for further us of cell’s activities. ATP’s are formed at mitochondria – the cell’s powerhouse. This type of organelle takes and breaks nutrients absorbed by the cell and creates energy afterward. The energy from ATP is then used by the body in kinetic activities like running & walking or involuntary activities like breathing, blood circulation, stimulus-responding, etc.</span>
