Question:

Lasers can be used to drill or cut material. One such laser generates a series of high-power pulses of light. Each pulse contains \(500 \mathrm{~mJ}\) of energy and lasts \(10 \mathrm{~ns}\). A lens focuses the light to a 10- \(\mu \mathrm{m}\)-diameter circle. What is the light intensity during the pulse?
