Answer

a) $P=250KW$ b) $I=4.41\times 10^{11}W/m^3$ c) $P=138mW$

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: $P=\frac{2.50\times 10^{-3}}{10.0\times 10^{-9}}$ $P=250KW$ (b) We can find the average intensity as $I=\frac{P}{A}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $I=\frac{250\times 10^3}{\pi (0.425\times 10^{-3})}$ $I=4.41\times 10^{11}W/m^3$ (c) We know that $P=Ef$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $P=(2.50\times 10^{-3})(55)$ $P=138mW$
