A totally reflecting small plane mirror placed horizontally faces a parallel beam of light as shown in the figure. The mass of the mirror is200 g. Assume that there is no absorption in the lens and that20%of the light emitted by the source goes through the lens. The power of the source needs to support the weight of the mirror isP × 108 watt, wherePis [takeg = 10 m s-2]

Answer:
15.00
Solution:

mg=2PC
P'=200×10-3×10×108×32
P = 300 × 106 = 300 MW
P=P'0.2=1500×106=15×108W
