The electron in a hydrogen atom can be considered to be in a circular orbit with a radius of 0.0529 nm and a kinetic energy of 13.6 eV. If the electron behaved classically, how much energy would it radiate per second (see Challenge Problem 32.51)? What does this tell you about the use of classical physics in describing the atom?
A cylindrical conductor with a circular cross section has a radius
Very short pulses of high-intensity laser beams are used to repair detached
portions of the retina of the eye. The brief pulses of energy absorbed by the
retina weld the detached portions back into place. In one such procedure, a
laser beam has a wavelength of 810 nm and delivers 250 mW of power spread over
a circular spot 510
