Problem 19
Q

Pulsed lasers used for science and medicine produce very brief bursts of electromagnetic energy. If the laser light wavelength is 1062 nm (Neodymium–YAG laser), and the pulse lasts for 34 picoseconds, how many wavelengths are found within the laser pulse? How brief would the pulse need to be to fit only one wavelength?

A
  1. 9600 wavelengths9600 \textrm{ wavelengths}
  2. 3.54×1015 s3.54 \times 10^{-15} \textrm{ s}
