Answer

(a) $0.15mJ$ (b) $3.8KW/cm^2$ (c) $3.8\times 10^5$

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $E=P\Delta t$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $E=(0.75)(0.2)=0.15mJ$ (b) We know that $I=\frac{P}{A}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $I=\frac{0.75\times 10^{-3}}{\pi(2.5\times 10^{-4})}=3.8KW/cm^2$ (c) We can find the required factor as $\frac{3800W/cm^2}{1.0\times 10^{-2}W/cm^2}=3.8\times 10^5$
