Answer

(a) $\lambda = 193~nm$ (b) $P = 50~kW$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the energy of each photon: $E = \frac{1.0\times 10^{-3}~J}{9.7\times 10^{14}} = 1.03\times 10^{-18}~J$ We can find the wavelength: $\lambda = \frac{hc}{E}$ $\lambda = \frac{(6.63\times 10^{-34}~J~s)(3.0\times 10^8~m/s)}{1.03\times 10^{-18}~J}$ $\lambda = 193\times 10^{-9}~m$ $\lambda = 193~nm$ (b) We can find the power output during a pulse: $P = \frac{E}{\Delta t}$ $P = \frac{1.0\times 10^{-3}~J}{20\times 10^{-9}~s}$ $P = 5.0\times 10^4~W$ $P = 50~kW$
