The radiation of energy ' E ' falls normally on a perfectly reflecting surface. The momentum transferred to the surface is
Options
- AE c
- B2 E c
- CE c^2
- D2 E c^2
Correct answer
B. 2 E c
Step-by-step solution
Initial momentum, P ₁= E c Final momentum, P₂=- E c Momentum transfer to the surface is P=P₁-P₂= E c - (- E c )= 2 E c
