A helium-neon laser (? = 633 nm), shown in Fig. P17.73, is builtwith a glass tube of inside diameter 1.0 mm. One mirror ispartially transmitting to allow the laser beam out. An electricaldischarge in the tube causes it to glow like a neon light. From anoptical perspective, the laser beam is a light wave that diffractsout through a 1.0-mm-diameter circular opening.

a. Explain why a laser beam canât be perfectly parallel, with nospreading.

b. The angle ?1 to the first minimum is called the divergence angleof a laser beam. What is the divergence angle of this laserbeam?

c. What is the diameter (in mm) of the laser beam after it travels3.0 m? d. What is the diameter of the laser beam after it travels1.0 km?

How much money will a homeowner owe a electric company if he turns on a 120.-W incandescent light bulb and leaves it on for an entire year?( Assume that the cost of electricity is $0.10/k W h and that the light bulb lasts that long.) The same amount of light can be provided by a 33.4-W compact fluorescent light bulb. What would it cost the homeowner to leave one of those on for a year?
