A laser beam can be focussed on an area equal to the square of its wavelength A $He-Ne$  laser radiates energy at the rate of $1\,mW$ and its wavelength is $632.8 \,nm$. The intensity of focussed beam will be

A

$1.5 \times {10^{13}}\,W/{m^2}$

B

$2.5 \times {10^9}\,W/{m^2}$

C

$3.5 \times {10^{17}}\,W/{m^2}$

D

None of these

Solution

(b) Area through which the energy of beam passes
$ = \,(6.328 \times {10^{ – 7}}) = 4 \times {10^{ – 13}}{m^2}$
 $I = \frac{P}{A} = \frac{{{{10}^{ – 3}}}}{{4 \times {{10}^{ – 13}}}} = 2.5 \times {10^9}\,W/{m^2}$
