An electromagnetic wave of intensity I falls on a surface kept in vacuum and exerts radiation pressure P on it. Choose wrong option from the following
Radiation pressure P is the force exerted by electromagnetic wave on unit area of the surface , i.e, rate of change of momentum per unit area of the surface
Momentum per unit time per unit area is =
Chnge in momentum per unit time per unit area =radiation pressure (p) momentum of incident wave per unit time per unit area
When wave is fully absorbed by the surface, the momentum of the reflected wave per unit time per unit area is zero
Radiation pressure change in momentum per unit time per unit area
When wave is totally reflected , then momentum of the reflected wave per unit time per unit area is
Radiation pressure P= here, P lies between
