(a) 72.3 W/m^2

First of all, we need to find the area of the circular spot, which is given by:

A=\pi r^2

where r is the radius of the spot, which is half the diameter, therefore

r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{2.10 mm}{2}=1.05 mm=1.05\cdot 10^{-3} m

So, the area of the spot is

A=\pi (1.05\cdot 10^{-3}m)^2=3.46\cdot 10^{-6} m^2

We know that the power output of the laser is

P=0.250 mW=2.5\cdot 10^{-4} W

So the intensity of the laser beam is

I=\frac{P}{A}=\frac{2.5\cdot 10^{-4} W}{3.46\cdot 10^{-6} m^2}=72.3 W/m^2

(b) 7.8\cdot 10^{-7}T

The average intensity of the laser is related to the peak magnetic field strength by

I=\frac{cB_0^2}{2\mu_0}

where

c is the speed of light

B_0 is the peak magnetic field strength

\mu_0=1.257\cdot 10^{-6} H/m is the vacuum magnetic permeability

Solving the formula for B_0, we find

B_0 = \sqrt{\frac{2I\mu_0}{c}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(72.3 W/m^2)(1.257\cdot 10^{-6} H/m)}{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}}=7.8\cdot 10^{-7}T

(c) 234 V/m

The relationship between magnetic field and electric field in an electromagnetic wave is

E_0=cB_0

where

E_0 is the peak electric field strength

c is the speed of light

B_0 is the peak magnetic field strength

Substituting numbers into the formula, we find

E_0=(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)(7.8\cdot 10^{-7} T)=234 V/m

A radio station broadcasts its music with waves at a frequency of 7.34 x 10²Hz. These radio waves travel at a speed of 3.00x 10%
Lorico [155]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

<u>I will use   3 x 10^8 m/s for speed or wave</u>

speed = wavelength * frequency

3 x 10^8  = w * 7.34 x 10^2     <====== are you sure this isn't KILO Hz ?

w = <u>408719. 3 meters   </u>

What happens at night- describing air circulation
mash [69]

Answer:

The environment is warmed by the light throughout the day, such that the temperature increases. The weather is decreasing and the temperature decreases in the night as the sun falls. There was a misunderstanding. Thanks to the density, the atmosphere becomes densest on the earth. The air becomes colder and colder when you move up.

Explanation:

Answer is above

A point charge (–5.0 µC) is placed on the x axis at x = 4.0 cm, and a second charge (+5.0 µC) is placed on the x axis at x = –4.
AveGali [126]

Answer:

The magnitude of electric force is  7.2\times10^{-3} N

Explanation:

Coulomb's Law:

The force of attraction or repletion is

  • directly proportional to the products of charges i.e F\propto q_1q_2
  • inversely proportional to the square of distance i.e F\propto \frac{1}{r^2}

\therefore F\propto \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

\Rightarrow F=k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}    [ k is proportional constant=9×10⁹N m²/C²]

There are two types of force applied on Q=+2.5 μC=2.5×10⁻⁶ C

Let F₁ force be applied on Q =+2.5 μC by q₁= -5.0 μC = - 5.0×10⁻⁶ C

and F₂ force  be applied on Q=+2.5 μC by q₂= 5.0 μC= 5.0×10⁻⁶ C

Since the magnitude of F₁ and F₂ are same. Therefore their y component cancel.

If we draw a line from q₁ to Q .

The it forms a triangle whose base = 4.0 cm and altitude =3.0 cm.

Let hypotenuse = r

Therefore, r=\sqrt{altitude^2+base^2} =\sqrt{3^2+4^2} =5

we know,

cos \theta = \frac{base }{hypotenuse}

\Rightarrow cos \theta = \frac{4 }{r}

Total force F_Q = 2.F_1 cos\theta \hat{i}

                         =2k\frac{Qq_1}{r^2} cos\theta \hat i

                         =2\ \frac{9\times1 0^9\times2.5 \times 5\times 10^{-12}}{r^2} \frac{4}{r} \hat i

                         =8\ \frac{9\times10^9\times2.5 \times 5\times 10^{-12}}{5^3} \hat i     [ r=5]

                         =7.2\times10^{-3}\hat i   N

The magnitude of electric force is  7.2\times10^{-3} N

The magnetic field perpendicular to a single 16.7-cm-diameter circular loop of copper wire decreases uniformly from 0.750 T to z
sammy [17]

Answer:

1.24 C

Explanation:

We know that the magnitude of the induced emf, ε = -ΔΦ/Δt where Φ = magnetic flux and t = time. Now ΔΦ = Δ(AB) = AΔB where A = area of coil and change in magnetic flux = Now ΔB = 0 - 0.750 T = -0.750 T, since the magnetic field changes from 0.750 T to 0 T.

The are , A of the circular loop is πD²/4 where D = diameter of circular loop = 16.7 cm = 16.7 × 10⁻²m

So, ε = -ΔΦ/Δt = -AΔB/Δt= -πD²/4 × -0.750 T/Δt = 0.750πD²/4Δt.

Also, the induced emf ε = iR where i = current in the coil and R = resistance of wire = ρl/A where ρ = resistivity of copper wire =1.68 × 10⁻⁸ Ωm, l = length of wire = πD and A = cross-sectional area of wire = πd²/4 where d = diameter of wire = 2.25 mm = 2.25 × 10⁻³ m.

So, ε = iR = iρl/A = iρπD/πd²/4 = 4iρD/d²

So,  4iρD/d² = 0.750πD²/4Δt.

iΔt = 0.750πD²/4 ÷ 4iρD/d²

iΔt = 0.750πD²d²/16ρ.

So the charge Q = iΔt

= 0.750π(Dd)²/16ρ

= 0.750π(16.7 × 10⁻²m 2.25 × 10⁻³ m)²/16(1.68 × 10⁻⁸ Ωm)

= 123.76 × 10⁻² C

= 1.2376 C

≅ 1.24 C
