Questions  

A plane electromagnetic wave of Intensity 4Wm2  strikes a small mirror of area 90cm2, held perpendicular to the approaching wave. The radiation force on the mirror will be 

a
2.4×10−3N
b
2.4×10−8N
c
2.4×10−10N
d
2.4×10−7N

detailed solution

Correct option is C

For pure reflective surface, Radiation force = F=2IAC=2×4×90×10−43×108=2.4×10−10N
