Questions  

A plane electromagnetic wave of wave intensity 6 W/m2 strikes a small mirror area 40 cm2, held perpendicular to the approaching wave. The momentum transferred by the wave to the mirror each second will be 

a
6.4×10−7kg−m/s2
b
4.8×10−8kg−m/s2
c
3.2×10−9kg−m/s2
d
1.6×10−10kg−m/s2

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Momentum transferred in one second p=2Uc=2SavAc=2×6×40×10−43×108=1.6×10−10kg-m/s2.
