Alaser emits a cylindrical beam of light 2.3 mm in diameter. the average power of the laser is 2.4 mw . the laser shines its light on a perfectly absorbing surface. part a how much energy does the surface receive in 15 s ?
part b what is the radiation pressure exerted by the beam?

energy is 36 mJ

radiation pressure exerted by the beam is 1.9254 × Pa

Explanation:

Given data

diameter = 2.3 mm = 2.3 × m

power  = 2.4 mW = 2.4 × J/s

time = 15 s

to find out

energy and radiation pressure exerted

solution

we know for energy

that is energy = power × time

energy =  2.4 × × 15

energy = 36 × J

so energy is 36 mJ

and

now first we find cross section area that i s

cross section Area A = πd²/4

A = π(2.3 × )²/4

A = 4.155 × m²

and intensity of radiation will be power / area

so intensity of radiation = 2.4 × /  4.155 ×

intensity of radiation = 577.62 W/m²

so that now for radiation pressure for beam that is

pressure = intensity of radiation / speed of light

we know speed of light is 3 × m/s

so

pressure = 577.62 / 3 ×

pressure = 1.9254 × Pa

so radiation pressure exerted by the beam is 1.9254 × Pa

answer; /// i believe that the correct answer is (c)

increasing transnational kinetic energy. because the transnational kinetic energy formula consists of only two variables, mass and velocity, increasing one of those properties is the only way to increase an object's transnational kinetic energy. increases to mass and velocity, however, do not have the same impact.
