JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 11. Dual nature of radiation and matter

\(50\, W/m^2\) energy density of sunlight is normally incident on the surface of a solar panel. Some part of incident energy \((25\%)\) is reflected from the surface and the rest is absorbed. The force exerted on \(1\, m^2\) surface area will be close to \((c = 3 \times10^8\, m / s)\)

  1. A \(15 \times {10^{ - 8}}\,N\)
  2. B \(35 \times {10^{ - 8}}\,N\)
  3. C \(10 \times {10^{ - 8}}\,N\)
  4. D \(20 \times {10^{ - 8}}\,N\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(20 \times {10^{ - 8}}\,N\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Radiation pressure for \(100 \%\) reflection \(=\frac{2I}{\mathrm{C}}\) Radiation pressure for \(0 \%\) reflection \(=\frac{I}{\mathrm{C}}\) Hence, in given case, radiation pressure…
