Question

A homogeneous ball (mass=m) of ideal black material at rest is illuminated with a radiation having a set of photons (wavelength - λ),each with the same momentum and the same energy. The rate at which photons fall on the ball is n. The linear acceleration of the ball is

Moderate
Solution

Momentum imparted per unit time = np

     F=nhλ      Acceleration =nhmλ
