Lasik eye surgery uses pulses of laser light to shave off tissue from the cornea, reshaping it. a typical lasik laser emits a 1.0-mm-diameter laser beam with a wavelength of 193 nm. each laser pulse lasts 20 ns and contains 2.0 mj of light energy.
part a: what is the power of one laser pulse?
part b: during the very brief time of the pulse, what is the intensity of the light wave?

a)     P = 1.0 10⁵ W, b)   I = 1.27 10¹¹ W / m²

Explanation:

a) the power is defined by the unit of time work

       P = W / t

Work is equal to the variation of energy

       P = E / t

Let's calculate

      P = 2.0 10⁻³ / 20 10⁻⁹

      P = 1.0 10⁵ W

b) intensity is defined as the ratio between power per area unit

      I = P / A

The area of a circle is

     A = π r²

     r = d / 2

     A = π (0.5 10⁻³)²

     A = 0.785 10⁻⁶ m²

     I = 1.0 10⁵ / 0.786 10⁻⁶

     I = 1.27 10¹¹ W / m²

1= 26.17

2= 1.17

3=30.86

4=5.86
