2. (4 points) In addition to section 1.3 in the textbook, take note of page A-8 in Appendix F, the Prefixes for Powers of 10 table. prefixes: Rewrite the following values without the assecond Laser pulses this short are available these days, and are short 0 fm 1.9 GHz- enough to make video images of chemical reactions in progress This is about the size of an atom's nucleus. For that reason, "femto-" is named in honor of Enrico Fermi who ran the first controlled nuclear reaction right here in Chicago. Your cell phone is sitting there, waiting for a signal to come- in at this radio frequency meter Hertz Dump this much power onto a 1mm sphere of hydrogen gas, and we just might cause hydrogen fusion at the National Ignition Facility 0.5 PW = Watts

Answer 1

100 as

100 attosececond = 100 x 10^-18sec

10 fm

10 femtometer = 10 x 10^-15meter

1.9 GHz

1.9 Giga hertz = 1.9 x 10⁹ hertz

0.5 PW

0.5 Peta watt = 0.5 x 10¹⁵ watt
