PhysicsEasysingle choice

Calculate the momentum transferred to a surface when a radiation of energy $E$ falls normally on it. Assume that the reflectivity of the surface is unity.

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

Initial momentum = $E / c$

Final momentum = $- E / c$

$∴$ Change of momentum = $\frac{E}{c} - (- \frac{E}{c}) = \frac{2 E}{c}$

$∴$ Momentum transferred to surface = $\frac{2 E}{c}$ .
