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

In which situation is no work considered to be done by a force?
andre [41]
If the angle is either 0 or 180, that means that there is either negative or positive work, so A and D are not correct.
If the angle is 45, then there is still some work involved.
The only option where there is no work done by a force is B. when the angle is between the force and displacement is 90.

At the instant the traffic light turns green, an automobile starts with a constant acceleration a of 2.5 m/s2. At the same insta
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

6.96 s

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • u = initial speed of the automobile = 0 m/s
  • a = constant acceleration of the automobile = 2.5\ m/s^2
  • v = constant speed of the truck = 8.7 m/s

<u>Assume:</u>

  • t = time instant at which the automobile overtakes the truck.

At the moment the automobile and the truck both meat each other the distance travel by both vehicles must be the same.

\therefore \textrm{Distance traveled by the automobile }=\textrm{Distance traveled by the truck}\\\Rightarrow ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2=vt\\\Rightarrow (0)t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.5\times t^2=8.7t\\\Rightarrow 1.25t^2=8.7t\\\Rightarrow 1.25t^2-8.7t=0\\\Rightarrow t(1.25t-8.7)=0\\\Rightarrow t = 0\,\,\,or\,\,\, t = \dfrac{8.7}{1.25}\\\Rightarrow t = 0\,\,\,or\,\,\, t = 6.96\\

Since t = 0 s is the initial condition. So, they both meet again at t = 6.96 s such that the automobile overtakes the truck.
