Biologists use optical tweezers to manipulate micron-sized objects using a beam of light. In this technique, a laser beam is foc

used to a very small-diameter spot. Because small particles are attracted to regions of high light intensity, the focused beam can be used to "grab" onto particles and manipulate them for various experiments. In one experiment, a 10 mW laser beam is focused to a spot that has a diameter of 0.67 μm
Part A: What is the intensity of the light in this spot?

Part B: What is the amplitude of the electric field?

Answer:

Explanation:

Part A) Using

light intensity I= P/A

A= Area= π (Radius)^2= π((0.67*10^-6m)/(2))^2= 1.12*10^-13 m^2

Radius= Diameter/2

P= power= 10*10^-3=0.01 W

light intensity I= 0.01/(1.12*10^-13)= 9*10^10 W/m^2

Part B)  Using

I=c*ε*E^2/2

rearrange to solve for E= \sqrt{((I*2)/(c*ε))

c is the speed of light which is 3*10^8 m/s^2

ε=permittivity of free space or dielectric constant= 8.85* 10^-12 F⋅m−1

I= the already solved light intensity= 8.85*10^10 W/m^2

amplitude of the electric field E= \sqrt{(9*10^10 W/m^2)*(2) / (3*10^8 m/s^2)*(8.85* 10^-12 F⋅m−1)

---> E= \sqrt{(1.8*10^11) / (2.66*10^-3) = \sqrt{(6.8*10^13) = 8.25*10^6 V/m

True, acid rain is a secondary pollutant


Examples of a secondary pollutant include ozone, which is formed when hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides combine in the presence of sunlight, which is formed as NO combines with oxygen in the air; and acid rain, which is formed when sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides react with water.

What is the amount of thermal energy that can be stored in an object depends on?
77julia77 [94]
Thermal energy is the total energy of all the molecules in an object. The thermal energy of an object depends on three things: 4 the number of molecules in the object 4 the temperature of the object (average molecular motion) 4 the arrangement of the object's molecules (states of matter).

A toy car (0.50 kg) runs on a frictionless track and has an initial kinetic energy of 2.2 J, as the drawing shows. The numbers b
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Height will be equal to 0.4489 m

Explanation:

We have given mass of the toy m = 0.50 kg

Initial kinetic energy K = 2.2 J

We have to fond the height of the hill over which car roast

When car will roast the hill its kinetic energy will be converted into potential energy and at maximum height all kinetic energy will be converted into potential energy

So at maximum height mgh=K

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

So 0.50×9.8×h = 2.2

h = 0.4489 m
