3.10 The earth is 146.9 million km from the sun, and receives light with an intensity of 1.36 kW/m2. Mars is 227.9 million km from the sun. a. Calculate the intensity of sunlight for a satellite that is in the vicinity of Mars. b. If the satellite has solar cells with an efficiency of 29%, what area is required to generate 1 kW of electrical power?
High-power lasers in factories are used to cut through cloth and metal (see figure below). One such laser has a beam
diameter of 2.00 mm and generates an electric field having an amplitude of 0.750 MV/m at the target.
