Electromagnetic waves and its nature

Question

If the intensity of the incident radio wave is 3wattm2 is reflected by the surface, the pressure exerted on the surface is  _____×108N/m2

Moderate
Solution

Pressure exerted by reflected wave on the surface is  P=2IC
Intensity of incident radio wave is I=3wattm2 and Velocity of light  C=3×108ms1
Pressure  P=2×33×108=2×108N/m2
