In a dark laboratory, a small non-reflective box is levitated by a laser with fre-quency f that is aimed vertically upward. The cross-sectional area of the box is half thecross-sectional area of the laser.(a) If the laser emits 20W of power and the box is stationary in the air, what is themass of the box?(b) How many photons does the laser emit every second?(c) Assuming the light from the laser is originally unpolarized, suppose that a polarizeris placed in the path of the laser. Now replace by non-reflective box by a reflective box.What must the mass of the reflective box be so that it is also stationary in the air?

Given data, Crossection area of the box=12crossection area of the laser Power of the laser = 20 Watt

Experiments have shown that the nervous system of the human eye effectively takes about 30 "frames" per second (like a movie camera) and that when the eye is fully dark-adapted, it needs to receive only about 500 visible photons per frame from an object to register it. Out sun radiates a power of about 3.9 x 1026W at all wavelengths, peaking in the yellow region of the spectrum (but only about one-half of this energy is in the visible range). The pupil of your dark-adapted eye has a diameter of about 8 mm. Estimate how far away a star like the sum could be and still be visible to the naked eye. The nearest visible star is about 4 ly away and most stars we see in the sky are hundreds of light years away. What does this mean for most visible stars' intrinsic brightness compared to the sun's intrinsic brightness?
