Light with an energy flux of \(9 \mathrm{Wcm}^{-2}\) falls on a nonreflecting surface at normal incidence. If the surface has an area of \(20 \mathrm{~cm}^2\). The total momentum delivered for complete absorption in one hour is

  1. A \(2.16 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{kgms}^{-1}\)
  2. B \(1.16 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{kgms}^{-1}\)
  3. C \(2.16 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{kgms}^{-1}\)
  4. D \(3.16 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{kgms}^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2.16 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{kgms}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have total momentum as \(\Delta p=\left(\frac{I A}{c}\right) t\) for non reflecting surface, \(\begin{aligned} & \Delta p=\left(\frac{9 \times 10^4 \times 20 \times 10^{-4}}{3 \times 10^8} \times 3600\right) \\ & =216 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{kgms}^{-1} \end{aligned}\)
