How many pulses are required to raise the temperature


Laser eye surgery is carried out by delivering highly intense bursts of energy using electromagnetic waves. A typical laser used in such surgery has a wavelength of 190 nm and produces bursts of light that last for 1 ms. It delivers an energy of 0.5 mJ to a circular spot on the cornea with a diamter of 1mm. Assuming the energy of a single pulse is delivered to a volume of the cornea 1 mm3, and assuming the pulses are delivered so quickly that the energy deposited has no time to flow out of that volume, how many pulses are required to raise the temperature of that volume from 20C to 100C?
