The radiation pressure exerted by a 450 W light source on a perfectly reflecting surface placed at 2 m away from it, is :
Options
- A1.5 10⁻⁸ Pascals
- B0
- C6 10⁻⁸ Pascals
- D3 10⁻⁸ Pascals
Correct answer
C. 6 10⁻⁸ Pascals
Step-by-step solution
P_ rad = 2 I C Where I = intensity at surface C = Speed of light aligned & I= Power Area = 450 4 r ^2 & = 450 4 4 = 450 16 & P_ rad = 2 450 16 3 10^8 = 150 8 10^8 aligned =5.97 10⁻⁸ 6 10⁻⁸ Pascals
