A UV laser (193 nm) vision correction surgery makes a spot and evaporates a layer of cornea. The total heat energy absorbed by the cornea is 4 × 10^−7kJ. The initial temperature is 30C. What is the mass of the tissue, assuming the evaporated tissue leaves at a temperature of 100C and corneal tissue has the same properties as water.
