 A plane e.m. wave of wave intensity 10 W,/m2 strikes  a  small minor of area 20 cm2, held perpendicular to the
approaching wave. The radiation force on the mirror will be

a
6⋅6×10−11N
b
1⋅33×10−11N
c
1⋅33×10−10N
d
6⋅6×10−10N

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Radiation force = momentum transferred per second by electromagnetism wave to the mirror=2SaVAc=2×10×20×10−43×108 =1.33×10−10N
