A beam splitter is an optical device that splits a beam of light - half of the incident light is transmitted through the beam splitter, and half is reflected.  Supposed we could make a beam splitter that reflects only 35% and transmits the other 65% (rather than 50/50). A beam of laser light with wavelength 656 nm is incident on our imaginary 35/65 beam splitter, at an angle of 45°. The beam pulse lasts 1.50 ms, and has a diameter of 0.60 mm. The intensity of the transmitted beam is 3.25 kW/m2.  Draw a clear physics diagram of the problem. What is the energy of a photon from this laser?  Find the peak Electric field of the reflected beam.  Find the peak Magnetic field of the incident beam.     What color is the laser beam?
