Light with an energy flux of 25×104W/m2 falls on a perfectly reflecting surface area is  15cm2, the average force exerted on the surface is

a
1.25×10−6N
b
2.50×10−6N
c
1.20×10−6N
d
3.0×10−6N

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Average force= Average radiation pressure X areaForce=2IC×A=2×25×104×15×10−43×108=2.5×10−6N
