A bulb of power \(660 \mathrm{~W}\) radiates uniformly in all directions. The pressure exerted by the radiation on the surface at a distance of \(5 \mathrm{~m}\) is

  1. A \(5 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~Pa}\)
  2. B \(2 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{~Pa}\)
  3. C \(7 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{~Pa}\)
  4. D \(\frac{3}{\pi} \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~Pa}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(7 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{~Pa}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Radiation pressure on a surface at a distance \(r\) from a bulb of power \(P\) is gives as, Radiation pressure \(=\frac{P}{4 \pi r^2 \cdot c}\)(for perfectly absorbing surface) Here, \(P=660 \mathrm{~W}, r=5 \mathrm{~m}, c=3 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) So, radiation…
