The National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory initiates nuclear fusion by converging 192 laser beams on a deuterium-tritium target. Each beam has a square cross section 38 cm on a side, and each beam delivers 10.0 kJ of energy in 20.0 ns.
Required:
a. Find the peak electric field in each laser beam.
b. Find the peak magnetic field in each laser beam.
c. Find the combined power of all 192 laser beams while they're firing.
d. Determine the ratio of the combined power of all 192 laser beam to the humankind's energy consumption rate of about 16 TW.

Calculate the minimum energy required to remove one proton from the nucleus 126c. this is called the proton-removal energy. (hint: find the difference between the mass of a 126c nucleus and the mass of a proton plus the mass of the nucleus formed when a proton is removed from 126c.) express your answer with the appropriate units. emin e m i n = nothing nothing request answer part b how does the proton-removal energy for 126c compare to the binding energy per nucleon for 126c, calculated using eb=(zmh+nmn−azm)c2?
