Light with an energy flux of25×104 W m-2falls on a perfectly reflecting surface at normal incidence. If the surface area is15 cm2,the average force exerted on the surface is:NEET 2014

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Here, we have to calculate the average force calculated at the surface.

Given

I = 25×104

A = 15×10-4

We know that,

F=2IAC=225×10415×10-43×108=2.5×10-6N

Hence, force will be 2.5×10-6N

So Option (2) will be correct.
