When a powerful laser is employed in the Earth's atmosphere, the accompanying electric field may ionize the air, transforming it into a plasma that reflects the laser light. Electric breakdown occurs in dry air at 0°C and 1 atm when field amplitudes above around 3:00 Mv/m a). At this maximum intensity, how much Power can a cylindrical beam with a diameter of 4.03 mm deliver? Note Answer must be in W.
Compton effect
The incoming photons' energy must be in the range of an X-ray frequency to generate the Compton effect. The electron does not lose enough energy that reduces the wavelength of scattered photons towards the visible spectrum. As a result, with visible lights, the Compton effect is missing.
Recoil Velocity
The amount of backward thrust or force experienced by a person when he/she shoots a gun in the forward direction is called recoil velocity. This phenomenon always follows the law of conservation of linear momentum.
