Question A1 A HeNe laser emits a light beam of wavelength 633 nm in air, with a beam diameter of 3 mm and emitted power of 25 mW. Evaluate: i) the wavenumber ko, ii) the angular frequency w, and iii) the peak amplitude of the electric field E, in the laser spot (you may assume beam divergence due to diffraction is negligible). Give the appropriate SI units in each case.
