A plane em wave of wave intensity of 10 W/m2 strikes a small mirror 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 electromagnetic wave to the mirror=2IavAc=2×10×20×10-43×108=1.33×10-10N
