Essay
A laser beam has a wavelength of 633 nm and a power of 0.500 mW spread uniformly over a circle 1.20 mm in diameter.This beam falls perpendicularly on a perfectly reflecting piece of paper having twice the diameter of the laser beam and a mass of 1.50 mg.(c = 3.00 × 108 m/s,μ0 = 4π × 10-7 T ∙ m/A,ε0 = 8.85 × 10-12 C2/N ∙ m2)
(a)What are the amplitudes of the electric and magnetic fields in this laser beam?
(b)What acceleration does the laser beam give to the paper?
