A flashlight beam produces 2.5 W of electromagnetic radiation in a narrow beam. Although the light it produces is white (all visible wavelengths), make the simplifying assumption that the wavelength is 550 nm, the middle of the visible spectrum. (a) How many photons per second emanate from the flashlight (b) What force would the beam exert on a 鈥減erfect mirror鈥?
Using the high-precision values of h,cand egiven on the text's inside front cover, show that the product hccan be expressed as
A ball rebounds elastically from the floor. What doesthis situation share with the ideas of momentum conservation discussed in connection with pair production?
