Often in optics scientists take advantage of effects that require very high intensity light. To get the desired effect a scientist uses a laser with power P = 0.0065 W to reach an intensity of I = 170 W/cm2 by focusing it through a lens of focal length f = 0.11 m. The beam has a radius of r = 0.0011m when it enters the lens. Randomized VariablesP = 0.0065 W I = 170 W/cm2 f = 0.11 m r = 0.0011  Part (a)  Express the radius of the beam, rp, at the point where it reaches the desired intensity in terms of the given quantities. (In other words, what radius does the beam have to have after passing through the lens in order to have the desired intensity?)  Part (b)  Give an expression for the tangent of the angle that the edge of the beam exits the lens with with respect to the normal to the lens surface, in terms of r and f?

Often in optics scientists take advantage of effects that require very high intensity light. To get the desired effect a scientist uses a laser with power P = 0.0065 W to reach an intensity of I = 170 W/cm2 by focusing it through a lens of focal length f = 0.11 m. The beam has a radius of r = 0.0011m when it enters the lens.

Randomized VariablesP = 0.0065 W
I = 170 W/cm2
f = 0.11 m
r = 0.0011 

Part (a)  Express the radius of the beam, rp, at the point where it reaches the desired intensity in terms of the given quantities. (In other words, what radius does the beam have to have after passing through the lens in order to have the desired intensity?) 

Part (b)  Give an expression for the tangent of the angle that the edge of the beam exits the lens with with respect to the normal to the lens surface, in terms of r and f?

   Part (c)  Express the distance, D, between the lens's focal point and the illuminated object using tan(α) and rp.
 Part (d)  Find the distance, D, in centimeters.
