Answer

(a) $1.56\times 10^{12}W$ (b) $4.95\times 10^{17}W/m^2$ (c) $1.37\times 10^{10}V/m$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the required power as $P=\frac{E}{\Delta t}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $P=\frac{0.350}{225\times 10^{-15}}$ $P=1.56\times 10^{12}W$ (b) We can find the average intensity as $I_{avg}=\frac{P}{A}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $I_{avg}=\frac{1.56\times 10^{12}}{\pi (1.00\times 10^{-3})^2}$ $I=4.95\times 10^{17}W/m^2$ (c) We know that $E_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{I_{avg}}{c\epsilon_{\circ}}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $E_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{4.95\times 10^{17}}{(3.00\times 10^8)(8.85\times 10^{-12})}}$ $E_{rms}=1.37\times 10^{10}V/m$
