- A laser beam with a total power of 22 watts is incident at a normal angle of incidence on a Lambertian surface. How much power reaches a detector with an area of 0.1 cm2 at an angle of 25 degrees located at a distance of 40 cm from where the beam strikes the surface? Please check closest answer. 0.525 mW 0.397 mW 0.247 mW 0.421 mWarrow_forwardWith a detailed solution, please :) 1. a.) What is the frequency of light having a wavelength 456 nm? b.) What is the wavelength ( in nm) of radiation having a frequency of 2.45 x 109 Hz? 2. The sky exhibits the color blue due to the scattering of sunlight by air molecules. The blue light has a frequency of about 7.5 x 1014 Hz. a.) Calculate the wavelength (in nm) associated with this radiation. b.) Calculate the energy (in Joules) of a single photon associated with this frequency.arrow_forwardhow would you solve this? Light is emitted from the light source, reflects from mirror surface X to the plane mirror, and then to the position of surface Z. By the time the light moves from the X to Z position, mirror surface X will have moved to the position of mirror surface Z. The light then continues to the observer. The distances from the light source and the observer to the rotating mirrors are negligible. The distance from the rotating mirrors to the plane mirror is 35.0 km.If the mirrors are rotating at 480 rev/s, the speed of light calculated from the given information is a 7.44 10–9 m/s b 1.34 108 m/s c 2.98 10–8 m/s d 3.36 107 m/sarrow_forward
