A laser used in LASIK eye surgery produces 54.0 pulses per second. The wavelength is 193 nm (in air), and each pulse lasts 10.0 ps. The average power emitted by the laser is 224.0 mW and the beam diameter is 0.800 mm.

What is the total energy of a single pulse?

What is the intensity during a pulse?

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 13 ns and contains 1.3 mJ of light energy. What is the power of one laser pulse? During the very brief time of the pulse, what is the intensity of the light wave?

In laser eye surgery, the laser emits a 1.26-ns pulse focused on a spot that is 37.0 μm in diameter. 1. If the energy contained in the pulse is 2.65 mJ , what is the power per square meter (the irradiance) associated with this beam? 2. Suppose a molecule with a diameter of 0.604 nm is irradiated by the laser beam. How much energy does the molecule receive in one pulse from the laser? (This much energy is likely to...

Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) is a laser-based surgical procedure that corrects near and farsightedness by removing part of the lens of the eye to change its curvature and hence focal length. This procedure can remove 0.25 mm thick using pulses lasting 10.0 ns from a laser beam of wavelength 200 nm. Low-intensity beams can be used because each individual photon has enough energy to break the covalent bonds of the tissue. (a) In what part of the electromagnetic spectrum does this...

(1)(A)A laser used in eye surgery has a power of 1.38 W and the wavelength of the light is 517 nm. If during a surgical process, the laser is focused on the retina of an eye for 0.031 s, determine the number of photons incident on the retina. (B)Through what minimum potential difference (in kV) must electrons at rest be accelerated so that on striking a target they produce x-ray photons with a momentum of 1.11 keV/c? Through what minimum...

Electromagnetic Waves In 2018, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to three people, one of whom is the first woman laureate in physics in 55 years, Prof. Donna Strickland. Prof. Strickland developed the technique of chirped pulse amplification" which allows for the construction of extremely high power lasers, called pulsed lasers. These lasers are used today in many fields, including laser eye surgery. A higher power laser means that an equivalent amount of energy can be delivered in less...
