What is the intensity in watts per square meter, of a laser beam that is 90.0% absorbed by a 2.05-mm diameter spot of cancerous tissue and must deposit 520 J of energy to it in a time period of 3.9 s?

Explanation / Answer

Energy energy absorbed = 520 J  

so total energy incident x 90 / 100 = 520

total energy incident = 577.8 J  


Power = 577.8 / 3.9 = 148 W  


and intensity = Power / Area

= 148 / (pi (2.05 x 10^-3/2)^2)

= 44.9 x 10^6 W/m^2 .........Ans
