Scientists are working on a new technique to kill cancer cells by zapping them with ultrahighenergy (in the range of 1012 W) pulses of light that last for an extremely short time (a few nanoseconds). These short pulses scramble the interior of a cell without causing it to explode, as long pulses would do. We can model a typical such cell as a disk 5.0 µm in diameter, with the pulse lasting for 4.0 ns with an average power of 2.0 x 1012 W. We shall assume that the energy is spread uniformly over the faces of 100 cells for each pulse. (a) How much energy is given to the cell during this pulse? (b) What is the intensity (in W/m2 ) delivered to the cell? (c) What are the maximum values of the electric and magnetic fields in the pulse?
Lunar astronauts placed a reflector on the Moon’s surface, from which a laser beam is periodically reflected. The distance to the Moon is calculated from the round-trip time.
To what precision, in meters, can the distance to the Moon be determined, if this time can be measured to 0.105 ns?

The timing of the synchronization signal is controlled by a set of atomic clocks to an accuracy of 101012 s, and repeats every 1 minute. The signal is used for devices, such as radio-controlled watches, that automatically synchronize with it at preset local times. WWVB's long wavelength signal tends to propagate close to the ground.
