Imagine you are at a location where some incident light source provides light at an intensity of 10 W/m^2 Now you move to double your distance from the light source (aka your distance is 2 times its initial value) What is the intensity of the light at this new location (in units of W/m^2, provide only the number)?

Biologists use optical tweezers to manipulate micron-sized objects using a beam of light. In this technique, a laser beam is focused to a very small-diameter spot. Because small particles are attracted to regions of high light intensity, the focused beam can be used to “grab” onto particles and manipulate them for various experiments. In one experiment, a 10 mW laser beam is focused to a spot that has a diameter of 0.62 μm.a. What is the intensity of the light in this spot?b. What is the amplitude of the electric field?
