Biologists use optical tweezers to manipulate micron-sized objects using a beam of light. In this technique, a laser beam is focused to a very small-diameter spot. Because small particles are attracted to regions of high light intensity, the focused beam can be used to “grab” onto particles and manipulate them for various experiments. In one experiment, a 10 mW laser beam is focused to a spot that has a diameter of 0.62 μm.a. What is the intensity of the light in this spot?b. What is the amplitude of the electric field?

Scientists are working on a new technique to kill cancer cells by zapping them with ultrahigh-energy (in the range of 1.00×1012 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 5.00 μm in diameter, with the pulse lasting for 4.00 ns with an average power of 2.00×1012 W. We shall assume that the energy is spread uniformly over the faces of 100 cells for each pulse.

Problem 1. A geostationary satellite is located 36,000 kilo- meters (km) away from the surface of the Earth. Once a minute it takes a digital picture and transmits the data to a base station on Earth. The rate of transmission is 10 Mbps and the propogation speed is 3.0 × 108 m/s. You may assume the actual time required to take the picture is negligible. a. What is the propagation delay of the link? b. The bandwidth-delay product is defined to be Rxdprop where dprop is the propagation delay. Calculate the bandwidth-delay product Rxdprop where deprop is the propagation delay. c.
