A laser emits light at power 5.23 mW and wavelength 633 nm. The laser beam is focused (narrowed) until its diameter matches the 1490 nm diameter of a sphere placed in its path. The sphere is perfectly absorbing and has density 5.00 × 10³ kg/m³. What are (a) the beam intensity at the sphere's location, (b) the radiation pressure on the sphere, (c) the magnitude of the corresponding force, and (d) the magnitude of the acceleration that force alone would give the sphere?

Please answer all parts. I cant answer with scientific notation so please do full value answers with correct sig figs 

**Current Attempt in Progress** **Your answer is partially correct.** A laser emits light at power 5.23 mW and wavelength 633 nm. The laser beam is focused (narrowed) until its diameter matches the 1490 nm diameter of a sphere placed in its path. The sphere is perfectly absorbing and has a density of \(5.00 \times 10^3 \, \text{kg/m}^3\). What are (a) the beam intensity at the sphere's location, (b) the radiation pressure on the sphere, (c) the magnitude of the corresponding force, and (d) the magnitude of the acceleration that force alone would give the sphere? (a) Number: 750000000 Units: W/m\(^2\) (b) Number: [Input field] Units: [Dropdown selection] (c) Number: [Input field] Units: [Dropdown selection] (d) Number: [Input field] Units: [Dropdown selection]
