Wave Intensity
18. Waves & Sound / Wave Intensity / Problem 3

Lasers' high-precision welding features make them suitable to weld implantable medical devices. Pulsed Nd: YAG is typically used during the medical welding process. A pulsed Nd: YAG laser operates at a wavelength of 1064 nm with a typical pulse duration of 5 ns. Each laser pulse contains 2.0 joules. The laser spot radius is 0.75 mm. Calculate the intensity of the laser pulse.
