LASIK eye surgery uses pulses of laser light to shave off tissue from the cornea, reshaping it. A typical LASIK laser emits a 1.

0-mm-diameter laser beam with a wavelength of 193 nm. Each laser pulse lasts 14 ns and contains 2.0 mJ of light energy. Part A What is the power of one laser pulse

Answer:

143 kW

Explanation:

Given that

Diameter of the beam, d = 1 mm

Wavelength of the beam, λ = 193 nm

Time used by the pulse, t = 14 ns

Energy of the pulse, U = 2 mJ

Recall that Power can be mathematically calculated using the relation,

Power = Work Done / Time,

To solve this, we apply the formula

P = U / Δt

P = 2*10^-3 J / 14*10^-9 s

P = 142857 W

P = 143 kW

A solid conducting sphere with radius R that carries positive charge Q is concentric with a very thin insulating shell of radius
Nostrana [21]

Explanation:

Gauss Law relates the distribution of electric charge to the resulting electric field.

Applying Gauss's Law,

                              EA = Q / ε₀

Where:

E is the magnitude of the electric field,

A is the cross-sectional area of the conducting sphere,

Q is the positive charge

ε₀ is the permittivity

We be considering cases for the specified regions.

<u>Case 1</u>: When r < R

The electric field is zero, since the enclosed charge is equal to zero

                                            E(r) = 0

<u>Case 2</u>: When R < r < 2R

The enclosed charge equals to Q, then the electric field equals;

                              E(4πr²) = Q / ε₀

                              E = Q / 4πε₀r²

                              E = KQ /r²

Constant K = 1 / 4πε₀ = 9.0 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²

<u>Case 3</u>: When r > 2R    

The enclosed charge equals to Q, then the electric field equals;

                               E(4πr²) = 2Q / ε₀

                               E = 2Q / 4πε₀r²

                               E = 2KQ /r²

A ball whirls around in a vertical circle at the end of a string. The other end of the string is fixed at the center of the circ
never [62]

Answer:

T_b=m(g+\frac{v_b^2}{R})

Explanation:

At the bottom the tension would be upwards and the weight downwards, their difference being the centripetal force. Taking the upwards direction as positive we then have:

T_b-mg=F_{cp}=ma_{cp}=m\frac{v_b^2}{R}

where we have used the equation for centripetal acceleration. Thus we have:

T_b=m(g+\frac{v_b^2}{R})

A flat screen is located 0.55 m away from a single slit. Light with a wavelength of 544 nm (in vacuum) shines through the slit a
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The diffraction pattern is given as

Sinθ = mλ/ω

Where m=1,2,3,4....

Now, when m=1

Sinθ = λ/ω

Then,

ω = λ/Sinθ

The width of the central bright fringe is given as

y=2Ltanθ. From trigonometric

Then,

θ=arctan(y/2L)

Given that,

y=0.052m

L=0.55m

θ=arctan(0.052/2×0.55)

θ=arctan(0.0473)

θ=2.71°

Substituting this into

ω = λ/Sinθ

Since λ=544nm=544×10^-9m

Then,

ω = 544×10^-9/Si.2.71

ω = 1.15×10^-5m.

A cell membrane has a thickness of about 7 nm. How many cell membranes would it take to make a stack 2.3 in high?
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

There are 8345714 cell membranes.

Explanation:

It is given that,

The thickness of a cell membrane is 7 nm

We need to find the number of cell membranes would it take to make a stack 2.3 inches high.

Firstly, the units must be same i.e. converting 2.3 inches to m

1 inch = 0.0254 m

2.3 inches = 0.05842 m

Let there are n number of cell membranes. So,

n=\dfrac{\text{stack height}}{\text{1 membrane thickness}}\\\\n=\dfrac{0.05842}{7\times 10^{-9}}\\\\n=8345714.28

or

n = 8345714 cell membranes
