Humans are unable to convert radiant energy from the sun into stored energy that can be usedto do work. Plants, however, obtain their energy from photosynthesis – sunlight is used toconvert carbon dioxide and water into sugars (stored as an energy source) and oxygen.Consider a leaf with a surface area of 2.5 cm2. On a sunny day it might receive sunlight withan average power per unit area of 350 W/m2. Of this incident light, only about 40% is usefulfor photosynthesis. (a) If the process was perfectly efficient (i.e. all the useful radiation was converted tostored internal energy), calculate the increase in internal energy of the leaf in aperiod of one hour. (b) In practice, the overall efficiency of the process (percentage of energy storedrelative to the total incident energy reaching the surface of the leaf) is only about6%. Discuss, in relation to the First Law of Thermodynamics, what happens to theremaining energy?
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?

A possible means of space flight is to place a perfectly reflecting aluminized sheet into orbit around the Earth and then use the light from the Sun to push this "solar sail." Suppose a sail of area A = 6.40 ✕ 105 m2 and mass m = 4,900 kg is placed in orbit facing the Sun. Ignore all gravitational effects and assume a solar intensity of 1,370 W/m2. A) If the solar sail were initially in Earth orbit at an altitude of 360 km, show that a sail of this mass density could not escape Earth's gravitational pull regardless of size. (Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational field in m/s2.) B) What would the mass density (in kg/m2) of the solar sail have to be for the solar sail to attain the same initial acceleration of 1193 µm/s2.
