asers can be used to drill or cut material. One such laser generates a series of high-intensity pulses rather than a continuous beam of light. Each pulse contains 530 mJ of energy and lasts 10 ns. The laser fires 10 such pulses per second. (c) A lens focuses the laser beam to a 8 µm diameter circle on the target. During a pulse, what is the light intensity on the target?(d) The intensity of sunlight at midday is about 1100 W/m2. What is the ratio of the laser intensity on the target to the intensity of the midday sun?
