The sun delivers 103W/m2 of electromagnetic flux to the earth’s surface. The total power that is incident on a roof of dimensions 8m×20m is  1.6×105W, then the radiation force on the roof will be

a
1.33×10−3N
b
2.3×10−3N
c
8.53×10−5N
d
5.33×10−4N

detailed solution

Correct option is D

The radiation force,F=Radiation Pressure ×Area =PA = IcA ⇒F=103×8×203×108=5.33×10−4N
