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 0.62 μm.
a. What is the intensity of the light in this spot?
b. What is the amplitude of the electric field?

Answer:

The correct answer is:

(a) 3.31\times 10^{10} \ \omega/m^2

(b) 5\times 10^6 \ N/C

Explanation:

The given values are:

Power of Laser beam,

= 10 mW

on converting it, we get

= 10\times 10^{-3} \ \omega

= 10^{-2} \ \omega

Spot's diameter,

= 0.62 μm

= 0.62\times 10^{-6} \ m

Now,

(a)

The intensity of light will be:

⇒ I=\frac{P}{\pi  r^2}

or,

⇒    =\frac{4P}{\pi d^2}

On substituting the values, we get

⇒    =\frac{4\times 10^{-2}}{\pi(0.62)^2\times 10^{-12}}

⇒    =3.31\times 10^{10} \ \omega/m^2

(b)

The amplitude of electric field will be:

⇒ I=\frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0E_0.C

or,

⇒ E_0=\sqrt{\frac{2I}{CE_0} }

On substituting the values, we get

⇒       =\sqrt{\frac{3.31\times 10^{10}\times 2}{3\times 10^8\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}} }

⇒       =5\times 10^6 \ V/m

Driving at 75 m/s, you hit the brakes on your new car, accelerating at
Harrizon [31]

Explanation:

initial velocity, u = 75m/s

acceleration, a = -20m/s2

final velocity, v = 0m/s (rest)

Using the formula,

v = u + at

0 = 75 + (-20)t

t = 3.75 seconds

In your research lab, a very thin, flat piece of glass with refractive index 2.30 and uniform thickness covers the opening of a
trapecia [35]

Answer:

λ₀= 495.88 nm

Explanation:

To analyze this constructive interference interference experiment by reflection, let's look at two important aspects:

* when a ray of light passes from a medium with a lower index, they refact to another medium with a higher index, the reflected ray has a phase difference of pyres

* When a beam penetrates a material medium, the wavelength of the radiation changes according to the refractive index of the material.

       λₙ = λ₀ / n

when we introduce these aspects in the expression of contributory interference, it remains

        2 d sin θ = (m + ½) λ₀ / n

In general, reflection phenomena are measured at an almost normal angle, whereby θ = π/2  and sin θ = 1

        2 d = (m +1/2) λ₀/ n

         2n d = (m + ½) λ₀

Let's apply this expression to our case

         d = (m + ½) λ₀ / 2n

Suppose we measure on the first interference, this is m = 0

         d = ½ λ₀ / 2n

 

let's calculate

         d = ½ 496 10⁻⁹ / (2 2.30)

         d = 53.9 10-9 m  

This is the thickness of the glass, the next wavelength that gives constructive interference is

          λ₀ = 2 n d / (m + ½)

let's calculate

          λ₀ = 2 2.3 5.39 10-8 / (1 + ½)

          λ₀= 4.9588 10-7 m

          λ₀= 495.88 nm
