The Nova laser at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California is used in studies of initiating
controlled nuclear fusion (Section 45.4). It can deliver a power of 1.60 × 1013 W over a time interval of 2.50
ns. Compare its energy output in one such time interval to the energy required to make a pot of tea by
warming 0.800 kg of water from 20.0°C to 100°C.
