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

Identrying the speed of the Cart
aleksklad [387]

The speed of the cart after 3 seconds of Low fan speed is equal to 54 cm/s.

<h3>How to calculate the speed?</h3>

Mathematically, speed can be calculated by using this formula;

Speed = distance/time

At Low fan speed after 3 seconds, the distance covered is 162 cm:

Speed = 162/3

Speed = 54 cm/s.

At Medium fan speed after 5 seconds, the distance covered is 600 cm:

Speed = 600/5

Speed = 120 cm/s.

At High fan speed after 2 seconds, the distance covered is 128 cm:

Speed = 128/2

Speed = 64 cm/s.

Why does the chord of an electric heater not glow while the heating element does​
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The heating element of the heater is made up of alloy which has very high resistance so when current flows through the heating element, it becomes too hot and glows red. But the resistance of cord which is usually of copper or aluminum is very low so it does not glow.
