A laser beam is directed at the Moon, 380,000 km from the Earth. The beam diverges at an angle of \thetaθ of 0.8 x 10-5 rad. What diameter spot, in m, will it make on the Moon?

Answer:

3040 m

Explanation:

The formula to apply here is ;

d=∅*r  where

d is the diameter of the spot , ?

∅ is angle of divergence in radians, = 0.8 * 10⁻⁵rad

r is distance of Moon from Earth, =380,000 km

Applying the formula as;

d=∅*r

d= {0.8 *10⁻⁵} * 380,000 * 1000

d= 3040 m
