Question:

The laser system tested for inertial confinement can produce a 100-kJ pulse only 1.00 ns in duration. 

(a) What is the power output of the laser system during the brief pulse?

(b) How many photons are in the pulse, given their wavelength is 1.06 μm? 

(c) What is the total momentum of all these photons? 

(d) How does the total photon momentum compare with that of a single 1.00 MeV deuterium nucleus?
