A lamp delivers a luminous flux of 100 ~W to an absorber of area l cm ^2 . The force due to radiation pressure is
Options
- A3.3 10⁻⁴ ~N
- B16.5 10⁻⁷ ~N
- C3.3 10⁻⁶ ~N
- D3.3 10⁻⁷ ~N
Correct answer
D. 3.3 10⁻⁷ ~N
Step-by-step solution
Force = Rate of change of linear momentum F= d p d t = d d t ( v c )= 1 c d v d t where, v= electromagnetic wave energy. aligned & F= I c = 100 3 10^8 =33.3 10⁻⁸ ~N & F=3.3 10⁻⁷ ~N aligned [( I=100 watt, given ]
