  3. C 1.6×10-7 Pa
  4. D 4.8×10-7 Pa
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 4×10-8 Pa

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Black surface will be considered as a perfectly absorbing surface. In this case, radiation pressure will be given by, P=Ic=12 W m-23×108 m s-1=4×10-8 Pa
