Biologists use optical tweezers to manipulate micron-sized objects using a beam of light. In this technique, a laser beam is focused 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?
You investigated a new material and subjected it to the following optical experiments. During a transmission experiment, you observed that, at a thickness of 30 mm, the material transmits only 50% of the intensity.
a. What thickness is required to transmit 25% of the incident intensity? b. What fraction of the incident intensity is absorbed by the material for the thickness solved in a?
Assume the radiation from a heat lamp is monochromatic, with a wavelength of 1.5 μm . I =3.313 kW/m^2.
a. What is the peak electric field strength, in kilovolts per meter?
b. Find the peak magnetic field strength, in microtesla.
c. How long, in seconds, will it take to increase the temperature of the 3.95-kg shoulder by 2.00°C, assuming that the shoulder absorbs all the radiation from the lamp and given that its specific heat is 3.47 × 103 J/(kg⋅°C)?
