Question: 1 A Gaussian beam from a frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser, with wavelength 532 nm, is measured to have a beam radius of 1.6 mm and 3.0

1 A Gaussian beam from a frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser, with wavelength 532 nm, is measured to have a beam radius of 1.6 mm and 3.0 mm at two points to the right of the laser separated by a distance of 1.0 m. What is the location of the beam waist relative to the 1.6 mm measurement point? Express your answer as a positive distance in units of meters with two significant figures
