A small laser emits light at power 5.00m/w and wavelength 633nm. The laser beam is focused (narrowed) until its diameter matches the 1266nm diameter of a sphere placed in its path. The sphere is perfectly absorbing and has density . What are (a) the beam intensity at the sphere鈥檚 location (b) the radiation pressure on the sphere? (c) the magnitude of the corresponding force? And (d) the magnitude of the acceleration that force alone would give the sphere?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Beam intensity at the sphere鈥檚 location is 3.974109W/m2.
  2. The radiation pressure on the sphere is 13.25 Pa.
  3. The magnitude of the corresponding force is1.66710-11鈥塏.
  4. The magnitude of the acceleration that force would give the sphere is 3.14103m/s2.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Given data

Power is, I=5.010-3W.

Diameter is, d=126610-9m.

Density is, =5000kg/m3.

02

Determining the concept

Intensity is the power transferred per unit area, where the area is measured on the plane perpendicular to the direction of the propagation of the energy. The intensity or flux of radiant energy is the power transferred per unit area, where the area is measured on the plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the energy. In the SI system, it has a unit of watts per square meter or kg鈰卻鈦宦 in base units.

Intensity (I),

I=PowerArea

Radiation pressure (Pr),

Pr=Ic

Where, I is the intensity, Pr is the radiation pressure, and c is the speed of light.

03

(a) Determining the beam intensity at the sphere’s location

Intensity (I)can be calculated as,

I=Pd24

Substitute the values in the above expression, and we get,

I=5.010-3126610-924I=3.974109W/m2

Therefore, the beam intensity at the sphere鈥檚 location is 3.974109W/m2.

04

(b) Determining the radiation pressure on the sphere

Radiation pressure(Pr)can be calculated as,

Pr=Ic

Pr=(3.974109)3108Pr=13.2鈥塒补

Therefore, the radiation pressure on the sphere is 13.25Pa.

05

(c) Determining the magnitude of the corresponding force

The magnitude of the force (Fr) can be calculated as,

Fr=Prd24

Fr=13.25126610-924Fr=1.66710-11N

Therefore, the magnitude of the corresponding force is1.66710-11鈥塏

06

(d) Determining the magnitude of the acceleration that force would give the sphere

Mass can be calculated as,

m=d36

Substitute the values in the above expression, and we get,

m=5000126610-926m=5.3110-15kg

To find the acceleration of the sphere (a), we can use the equation as,

a=Frm

Substitute the values in the above expression, and we get,

a=1.66710-115.3110-15a=3.14103m/s2

Therefore, the magnitude of the acceleration that force would give the sphere is 3.14103m/s2.

A plane electromagnetic wave, with wavelength 3.0m, travels in vacuum in the positive direction of anxaxis. The electric field, of amplitude 300 V/m, oscillates parallel to theyaxis. What are the (a) frequency (b) angular frequency, and (c) angular wave number of the wave? (d) What is the amplitude of the magnetic field component? (e) Parallel to which axis does the magnetic field oscillate? (f) What is the time-averaged rate of energy flow in watts per square meter associated with this wave? The wave uniformly illuminates a surface of area 2.0 m2. If the surface totally absorbs the wave, (g) What is the rate at which momentum is transferred to the surface? and (h) What is the radiation pressure on the surface?

A beam of partially polarized light can be considered to be a mixture of polarized and unpolarized light. Suppose we send such a beam through a polarizing filter and then rotate the filter through360掳while keeping it perpendicular to the beam. If the transmitted intensity varies by a factor of5.0during the rotation, what fraction of the intensity of the original beam is associated with the beam鈥檚 polarized light?

(a) Figure 33-27 shows light reaching a polarizing sheet whose polarizing direction is parallel to a y axis. We shall rotate the sheet 40掳 clockwise about the light鈥檚 indicated line of travel. During this rotation, does the fraction of the initial light intensity passed by the sheet increase, decrease, or remain the same if the light is (a) initially unpolarized, (b) initially polarized parallel to the x axis, and (c) initially polarized parallel to the y axis?

Question: Rainbows from square drops. Suppose that, on some surreal world, raindrops had a square cross section and always fell with one face horizontal. Figure shows such a falling drop, with a white beam of sunlight incident at =70.0at point P. The part of the light that enters the drop then travels to point, where some of it refracts out into the air and the rest reflects. That reflected light then travels to point, where again some of the light refracts out into the air and the rest reflects.(a)What is the difference in the angles of the red light ( n = 1.331) and the blue light(n = 1.343) that emerge atpoint A? and(b) What is the difference in the angles of the red lightn = 1.331 )and the blue light (n = 1.343)that emerge atpoint B? (This angular difference in the light emerging at, say, pointwould be the rainbow鈥檚 angular width.)

Figure:

In Fig. 33-29, unpolarized light is sent into a system of five polarizing sheets. Their polarizing directions, measured counterclockwise from the positive direction of the y axis, are the following: sheet 1,35; sheet 2, 0; sheet 3,0; sheet 4,110; sheet 5,45. Sheet 3 is then rotated180,counterclockwise about the light ray. During that rotation, at what angles (measured counterclockwise from the y axis) is the transmission of light through the system eliminated?
