LASIK eye surgery uses pulses of laser light to shave off tissue from the cornea, reshaping it. A typical LASIK laser emits a 1.0 mm diameter laser beam with a wavelength of 193 nm. Each laser pulse lasts 15 ns and contains 1.0 mJ of light energy. 

(a) What is the power of one laser pulse?

(b) During the very brief time of the pulse, what is the intensity of the light wave?

The polarization of a helium-neon laser can change with time. Thelight from a 1.5 mW laser is initially horizontally polarized; asthe laser warms up, the light changes to be vertically polarized.Suppose the laser beam passes through a polarizer whose axis is20^\circ from horizontal.

By what percent does the light intensity transmitted through thepolarizer decrease as the laser warms up?
