A uniform beam of laser light has a circular cross section of diameter d = 7.5 mm. The beam’s power is P = 4.9 mW. (a)  Calculate the intensity, I, of the beam in units of W / m2.  (b)  The laser beam is incident on a material that completely absorbs the radiation. How much energy, ΔU, in joules, is delivered to the material during a time interval of Δt = 0.89 s?   (c)  Use the intensity of the beam, I, to calculate the amplitude of the electric field, E0, in volts per meter.    (d)  Calculate the amplitude of the magnetic field, B0, in teslas.
A parabolic reflector focuses electromagnetic waves into a beam as shown in the figure. The electromagnetic radiation is pulsed, with a pulse frequency of 19.0 GHz, and the duration of each pulse is  t = 1.00 ns.  The face of the reflector has a radius of 3.00 cm, and the average power during each pulse is 29.0 kW. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations—including answers submitted in WebAssign.) (d) Determine the amplitude of the electric field (in kV/m) and magnetic field (in µT) in these electromagnetic waves. Emax=  kV/m Bmax = µT (e) Assuming that this pulsed beam strikes an absorbing surface, compute the force (in µN) exerted on the surface during the 1.00 ns duration of each pulse.  µN
The average intensity of the solar radiation that strikes normally on a surface just outside Earth’s atmosphere is 1.4 kW/m2. (a) What radiation pressure pr is exerted on this surface, assuming complete absorption? (b) For comparison, find the ratio of pr to Earth’s sea-level atmospheric pressure, which is 1.0 * 10^5 Pa.
