Often in optics scientists take advantage of effects that require very high intensity light. To get the desired effect a scientist uses a laser with power P = 0.0015 W to reach an intensity of I = 350 W/cm2 by focusing it through a lens of focal length f = 0.15 m. The beam has a radius of r = 0.0011 m when it enters the lens.Randomized VariablesP = 0.0015 WI = 350 W/cm2f = 0.15 mr = 0.0011 m Part (a) Express the radius of the beam, rp, at the point where it reaches the desired intensity in terms of the given quantities. (In other words, what radius does the beam have to have after passing through the lens in order to have the desired intensity?)
