Questions
A plane electromagnetic wave is incident on a plane surface of area A, normally and is perfectly reflected. If energy E strikes the surface in time t then average pressure exerted on the surface is
detailed solution
Correct option is C
Incident momentum, p=Ec For perfectly reflecting surface with normal incidence Change in momentum=Δp=2p=2EcForce=F=ΔpΔt=2EctPressure=P=FA=2EctASimilar Questions
