Scientists are working on a new technique to kill cancer cells by zapping them with ultrahighenergy (in the range of 1012 W) pulses of light that last for an extremely short time (a few nanoseconds). These short pulses scramble the interior of a cell without causing it to explode, as long pulses would do. We can model a typical such cell as a disk 5.0 µm in diameter, with the pulse lasting for 4.0 ns with an average power of 2.0 x 1012 W. We shall assume that the energy is spread uniformly over the faces of 100 cells for each pulse. (a) How much energy is given to the cell during this pulse? (b) What is the intensity (in W/m2 ) delivered to the cell? (c) What are the maximum values of the electric and magnetic fields in the pulse?
A spaceship is approaching a space station at a speed of 2.25 ✕ 105 m/s. The space station has a beacon that emits green light with a frequency of 5.99 ✕ 1014 Hz.
(a) What is the frequency of the beacon observed on the spaceship? (Use
c = 2.9979 ✕ 108 m/s
for the speed of light. Enter your answer to at least five significant figures.) Your response differs significantly from the correct answer. Rework your solution from the beginning and check each step carefully. Hz(b) What is the change in frequency? Hz
A star emits most of the energy it produces in the form of light waves. A spherical spacecraft of radius r = 50 m arrives to investigate the star. It is at a distance of 50 · 10^6 km from the stars center. The spaceship absorbs all the light that hits its surface. The power absorbed by the spacecraft from the star is 10^7 W (assume that the spaceship absorbs all the radiation that hits it).
(a) Estimate the force that the EM radiation exerts on the spaceship.
(b) What is the intensity (energy per area) of the star’s radiation at the location of the spacecraft?
(c) What is the power output of the star?
(d) Say that there is second spherical spacecraft a distance d = 10^8 km away, with a radius r = 10 m. If this spacecraft completely absorbs the radiation of the star, what is the power absorbed by the spaceship? [hint: The important area of the spaceship is its circular cross section]
