Answer:
26036485.6433 W/m²
Explanation:
E= Energy = 470 J
t = Time = 4 seconds
d = Diameter = 2.6 mm
Power is given by

Intensity is given by

The intensity of the laser beam is 26036485.6433 W/m²
The gravitational force would get stronger because the farther the two masses are separated the more gravitational force will be used to pull them together the closer they are the less gravitational pull is used to pull them together
Let the observer be 'd' distance away from the thunderstorm and let light take 't' time to reach the observer
Since the speed of sound and light remains constant in a particular medium, we can use
Speed = Distance/Time
For light,
3 x 10^8 = d/t
t = d/(3 x 10^8) -1
For sound,
339 = d/(t + 30) -2
Putting value from 1 in 2.
d = 10^4 m(approx)
