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

As the temperature of water drops, it continues to give off thermal energy until it freezes. This is an example of.
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

The answer should be C

Explanation:

An exothermic process releases heat, causing the temperature of the immediate surroundings to rise. An endothermic process absorbs heat and cools the surroundings.

Please tell me if it is wrong

A Cessna aircraft has a lift off speed of 147 km/h. What minimum constant acceleration does this require if the aircraft is to b
netineya [11]

Answer:

The acceleration is  a =51945 \ km/h^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The lift up speed is  v  = 147 \  km/h

    The distance covered for the take off run is s =  208 m = 0.208 \ km

Generally from kinematic equation we have that

      v^2 = u^2 + 2as

Here u is the initial  speed of the aircraft with value 0 m/ s give that the aircraft started from rest

So  

    147^2 = 0^2 + 2* a* 0.208

=>  a =51945 \ km/h^2

d1i1m1o1n [39]
Use the Inverse square law, Intensity (I) of a light is inversely proportional to the square of the distance(d).

I=1/(d*d)

Let Intensity for lamp 1 is L1 distance be D1 so on, L2 D2 for Intensity for lamp 2 and its distance.

L1/L2=(D2*D2)/(D1*D1)

L1/15=(200*200)/(400*400)
L1=15*0.25
L1=3.75 <span>candela</span>
