A energy density of sunlight is incident normally on the surface of a solar panel. Some part of incident energy () is reflected from the surface and the rest is absorbed. The force exerted on surface area will be close to \left(c = 3 \times {10}^{8}ms^{- 1}\right)
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
The pressure exerted by the photons
( = pressure, = speed of light, = intensity )
We know the force can be computed using
( = force, = pressure, = area )
\left(\dfrac{50 \times 1}{3 \times 1{0}^{8}}\right)
\times
