Optical tweezers use light from a laser to move single atoms and molecules around. Suppose the intensity of light from the tweez

ers is 1000 W/m2, the same as the intensity of sunlight at the surface of the Earth. (a) What is the pressure on an atom if light from the tweezers is totally absorbed

Answer:

a= 4.4×10 m/s^2

Explanation:

pressure P  = E/c

Where, E = 100 W/m^2 intensity of light

c= speed of light  = 3×10^8 m/s

P = 1000/ 3×10^8

P = 3.33×10^(-6) Pa

Force F = P×A

  • P is the pressure and c= speed of light

F = 3.33×10^{-6}×6.65×10(-29)

= 2.22×10^{-6}

acceleration a  = F/m = 2.22×10^{-6}/ 5.10×10^{-27}

a= 4.4×10 m/s^2

WHAT DOES DENSITY HAVE TO DO WITH PLATE TECTONICS?<br> Explain
Korvikt [17]

Answer: The reason for the differences in density is the composition of rock in the plates. When two plates come in contact with each other through plate tectonics, scientists can use the density of the plates to predict what will happen. Whichever plate is more dense will sink, and the less dense plate will float over it.
