Radiations of intensity \(0.5 \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}\) are striking a metal plate, the pressure on the plate is

  1. A \(0.166 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\)
  2. B \(0.332 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\)
  3. C \(0.111 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\)
  4. D \(0.083 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(0.166 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Intensity of radiation, \(I=0.5 \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}\) Pressure on the plate due to radiation is given by \(p=\frac{I}{c}=\frac{0.5}{3 \times 10^8}=0.166 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{Nm}^{-2}\)
