Detailed Solution

If momentum of one photon is p and after reflection velocity gained by the mirror is v, by conservation of linear momentum we have
Npi^=Npi^+mvi^ mvi^=2pNi^ mv=2Np mv=2Np 
Since v is velocity of mirror attached to spring at mean position, it can be given as v=AΩ
Where A is oscillation amplitude or maximum deflection of mirror from mean position and Ω  is angular frequency of mirror spring system. Momentum of one incident photon is given as
 p=hλ mv=2Np mAΩ=2Nhλ N=mΩh×λA2
Given values are mΩh=10244πm2 and  λ=8π×106m, so we have
 N=10244π×8π×106×1062
 N=1012=x×1012
 x=1
