AI Thread Summary
To convert light energy from 138 W/m2 to microjoules per square millimeter (uJ/mm2) for a 4 microsecond pulse, the calculation yields 5.54e-4 uJ/mm2. This conversion is valid under the assumption that the light pulse has a boxcar shape in time. The user confirms they are working with controlled square pulses, which supports the accuracy of the calculation. Concerns were raised about previously provided numbers from a Xenon strobe, but this conversion appears correct. The discussion emphasizes the importance of pulse shape in energy calculations.

I need to convert light energy: 138W/m2 to uJoules / mm2, at a 4usec pulse

J = W * seconds
J = 138 W/m2 * 4e-6
= 5.54e-4 J/m2 5.54e-4 J/m2 = 5.54e-4 uJ/mm2

answer:
5.54e-4 uJ/mm2Does this look correct?

It is correct if the light pulse can be assumed to have a box car shape in time.

Thanks blue_leaf. Yes, I have nice controlled square pulses. I was given some numbers to beat by a Xenon strobe, but the numbers seemed off. Good to know.
 
Thread 'Is 'Velocity of Transport' a Recognized Term in English Mechanics Literature?'
Here are two fragments from Banach's monograph in Mechanics I have never seen the term <<velocity of transport>> in English texts. Actually I have never seen this term being named somehow in English. This term has a name in Russian books. I looked through the original Banach's text in Polish and there is a Polish name for this term. It is a little bit surprising that the Polish name differs from the Russian one and also differs from this English translation. My question is: Is there...
Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'
Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
