Suppose a certain laser can provide 82 TW of power in 1.1 ns pulses at a wavelength of 0.24 μm. How much energy is contained in a single pulse?

The energy contained in a single pulse is 90,200 J.

Explanation:

Given;

power of the laser, P = 82 TW = 82 x 10¹² W

time taken by the laser to provide the power, t = 1.1 ns = 1.1 x 10⁻⁹ s

the wavelength of the laser, λ = 0.24 μm = 0.24 x 10⁻⁶ m

The energy contained in a single pulse is calculated as;

E = Pt

where;

P is the power of each laser

t is the time to generate the power

E = (82 x 10¹²)(1.1 x 10⁻⁹)

E = 90,200 J

Therefore, the energy contained in a single pulse is 90,200 J
