Question
Some neodymium-glass lasers can provide $100 \mathrm{TW}$ of power in $1.0 \mathrm{~ns}$ pulses at a wavelength of $0.26 \mu \mathrm{m} .$ How much energy is contained in a single pulse?
Step 1
We know that 1 terawatt equals $10^{12}$ watts. So, the power $P$ in watts is given by: \[P = 100 \times 10^{12} \, \text{W}\] Show more…
