A perfectly reflecting mirror of mass M mounted on a spring constitutes a spring-mass system of angular frequency Ω such that 4πMΩh=1024 m-2 with h as Planck's constant. N photons of wavelength λ=8π×10-6 m strike the mirror simultaneously at normal incidence such that the mirror gets displaced by 1 μm. If the value of N is x×1012, then the value of x is________.
[Consider the spring as massless]

  1. A 5
  2. B 4
  3. C 6
  4. D 1

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Total Momentum transferred on mirror =2Nhλ (for perfect reflection)
In an SHM
Vmax=A.Ω
Where A= amplitude and Ω= angular frequency
2Nhλ=MVmean position
Vmean position=ΩAwhere A=1 μm
2Nhλ=MΩAwhere λ=8π×10-6
N=λMΩA2h
N=MΩ10-6λ2h=MΩ8π×10-6×10-62h
N=4πMΩh×10-12
=1024×10-12
N=1×1012
x=1
